E4.1R rol-e energy chain

Noise and vibration reduced, whereby less drive energy is needed

The standard modular system of the E4.1 energy chain series has been expanded to include new roller chain links. This makes it particularly easy for users to switch from gliding energy chain systems to rolling ones - the rollers chain links are fully compatible with the entire modular system of the E4.1 series. For example, indoor linear robots in the machine tool industry can be easily converted to withstand higher dynamics and at the same time save up to 57 per cent drive energy.

Typical application areas:
Cranes, coal conveyors, etc., where the additional load is not so high that HD rol e-chain is required.

Tech up

Simple conversion from gliding to rolling e-chains®
One roller chain link suitable for all radii of the standard series
Ideal for long travels
Quiet running, as the pitch of the e-chains® link is the same

Cost down

No adapter chain link required
Retrofitting, quick installation
Extend the service life of the e-chain®
Smaller minimum bend radius possible, which may reduce the cable length, installation space and steel construction
37% reduction in drive power for traversing
Predictive maintenance - optional with the isense add-on module

Proof

Already tested several times in the igus® laboratory
More resilient: 25% more push/pull forces possible (E4.56 vs. 4040C)

Sustainability

Saving resources: Conversion instead of replacement
Save drive power and therefore energy
Have your energy chain or drag chain recycled at the end of its life cycle in the igus Chainge recycling programme. Regardless of the manufacturer, you will receive a voucher for this.
igus has been an investor in Mura Technology from the very beginning and is driving forward chemical recycling. From plastic waste to crude oil in 20 minutes.

Reasons to choose rol e-chains ...

Rol e-chains are reliable, save space, and require little maintenance. Cable lengths can be saved by up to 50% (compared to cable trolley systems).

Roll instead of glide and save up to 37% drive power. For high speeds (up to 10m/s) and the longest travels (up to 500m).

Modular system of the E4.1 energy chain series for long travels

Series E4.1
Standard energy chain E4.1 for almost all applications. strong, high service life and cost-effective.

To E4.1 series

Series E4.1R as extension set

With the rol e-chain set, the E4.56 or E4.42 becomes the rol e-chain. The result: the service life is extended.

Optional element: Glide pads
Friction- and wear-optimised sliding elements and rol e-chains extend the service life of energy chains in gliding operation.
