Guarantee for energy chains

Why energy chain guarantee?
Energy chains often have a service life of over 10 years (depending on the application, environment and dynamic parameters). The new guarantee service gives the buyer the security of knowing that their individual application has been designed exactly right and that they are always choosing the most favourable e-chain that is sure to work.

When does the guarantee start?
The guarantee applies to new purchases from 15 February 2020, starting on the date of delivery of the energy chain for all e-chain components that fail due to wear.

When does the guarantee end?
The guarantee ends at the end of the 4 years, starting from the delivery date.

Is there a guarantee on the installed cables?
We also provide a guarantee of up to 4 years on the chainflex cables installed in the e-chain.

The basis for all service life calculations

In the 3,800 square metre laboratory, igus puts its products through their paces under the most adverse conditions up to total failure in order to determine the service life of its products. The result: 10 billion e-chain cycles per year.

The e-chain service life calculator uses the data from the test laboratory to determine the service life of igus standard energy chains in customised applications. Over 4,000 tests and more than 7,500 results flow into the online tool. The number is increasing daily in order to be able to make even more precise statements about the service life. For this reason, igus is the only supplier worldwide to offer a 4-year guarantee on its energy chains.
