Vertical standing Application
Vertical standing applications
Standing applications are standard many
machines and plants.
For maximum heights and weights, the whole
distance must often supported.1 system well many other types.
Combined motion
Combined vertical and horizontal movements are
possible with igus® e-chains® for cost-saving
solution. Cables will guided safely
in vertical strokes.
Cables and hoses
Cables and hoses must laid the e-chain®
so that they can bend freely and bear their own
weight. The
igus® product range offers locking one-sided,
locking mounting brackets for almost all types
of e-chains®.4m/s Depending ontheapplication,pleasecheckwithigus®

wide variety combinations involving fill weights,
stroke heights, e-chain® types and bend radii,
we strongly recommend you make use our
consulting services.
Please consult igus® for these kinds applications.
