connection system.TheMultiRotationModulesystem
is ideal for rotary applications, heavy loads and
for harsh environments
● Unlike other systems using sliding contacts,
the e-chain® can also guide hoses for air, gas
or fluids, well bus and fibre optic cables
● Even for tough environmental conditions

We would happy offer complete systems

not require any additional sliding pads either for

Depending the dynamics and load the
application, the guides are made steel or

needs mechanical force transfer
● The construction minimises potential
interference. Thanks stackable add-on modules the angle rotation can extended virtually
indefinitely. The rotation and add-on modules are ideally suited for rotary
movements with high fill weights and limited space.g. From
