Energy chains

Cable carriers for reduced downtime and increased service life.
The energy chain from igus® is a machine component for protecting and guiding flexible cables and hoses.

There are many advantages of our energy chains:

  • Cable-friendly because of their smooth contours
  • Strong, robust, quiet and low weight
  • Easy-to-perform maintenance, easy to install and open
  • Predictable service life
  • Modular and with a wide range of sizes

Our energy chains can be used in different environments (based on material):

  • Standard temperature range -40°C to +130°C (+170°C short term)
  • Resistant to hot swarf (up to +850°C)
  • Chemical resistance
  • Continuous use down to -40°C
  • Suitable for ESD use
  • FDA compliant
