50 percent lighter: the world's first modular igus hybrid chain made of steel and plastic2019-06-19
Cherry pickers, construction machinery and lifting platforms have an identical challenge to face: a safe and compact vertical guidance of the cables and hoses. For such scenarios, users usually rely on tough and rigid steel chains. However, these are very heavy and difficult to install, and often need to be completely replaced when service or repair is called for. This means immense costs for machine operators and hiring companies due to equipment downtime. igus has now developed a hybrid energy chain especially for high unsupported travels. The supporting chain links of the new energy supply solution are made of steel and ensure high rigidity, whereas the pin/bore connection, the outer links and the crossbars are completely made of a tribologically optimised high-performance plastic. Thanks to the plastic - unlike a steel chain - the user saves 50 percent weight. Compared with a plastic energy chain, the new hybrid energy chain can implement 50 percent more unsupported length. |
