5 Design Information About igus E-Chain Systems igus E-ChainSystems guide and protect moving cables and hoses on automated equipment. They can be used in a wide va rie ty of applications and possess the following capabilities: Use with various types of motion and travels Guidance of sensitive bus and data cables, as well as fibre optic cable, using the same techniques as with electric, gas, air and liquid hose guid ance Long service life under very high loads and de manding re quirements Smooth oper a tion in a full range of environ ments and climates. Long travels (441 m) with ol E-Chain. Energy Chain Underwater. eadychain with combined motions Complex movements with Triflex, 144

6 Design Information Calculation of chain length If the fixed end of the Energy Chain is located in the centre of the travel, the chain length L c is calculated by using half the length of travel and adding the value K for the curved length. (You can obtain the value K from the table in the catalogue.) Placing the fixed end in the centre of the travel is the most cost-effective solution because it requires the shortest Energy Chain, cables and hoses. Fixed end in the centre of the travel is the most favourable solution L c = chain length S K = length of travel = add-on length for bending radius (You can obtain the value K from the tables in the catalogue) = bending radius L C = S + K 2 S S/2 S/2 This formula is generally valid for all types of applications if the fixed end is in the centre of the travel. Exceptions: rotary movements and most long travels. Camber Camber is the curve of the upper run along its unsupported length. All igus Energy Chains are manufactured with camber. In the Installation Dimensions section of each respective Energy Chain description, you will find the measurement H F, which specifies the necessary clearance height, taking the camber into account. The camber allows for longer unsupported length and increases service life and operating safety. Upon request, we can deliver Energy Chains without camber for restricted space applications; however, these no-camber chains do not have the same load-bearing capacity. Please consult Treotham. H = nominal clearance height Principle of camber for igus Energy Chains H F = required installation height. H F = required clearance height H H F 14

7 Filling Cable and Hose Packages easons for distribution rules Distribution rules: The cables and hoses must be laid so that they can move freely at all times and so that no tensile force is exerted at the radius of the E-Chains. For high-speed applications and high cycles, cables or hoses must not be laid on top of each other without horizontal separa tion. The standard values for this are: Travel speed over 0. m/s and cycles over,000 p.a. igus interior separation offers a safe solution for this situation. D1 D1 + D2 > 1.2 x hi % min 2 mm % min 1 mm D2 % min 1 mm d1 d2 d1 + d2 1.2 x hi Case 1: D1 + D2 > 1.2 x hi If D1 + D2 > 1.2 x E-Chain inner height, no separa tion be tween the two cab les or hoses is necessary. Two cables/ hoses should never be left unguided on top of one an other or be allowed to be come tangled. Further guidelines for dis tri bution The cable or hose weight should be symmetrically distributed along the width of the E-Chain. Cables and hoses with different outer jacket materials must not be allowed to stick together. If necessary, they must be laid separately. All igus Chainflex cables can be combined with each and other brands of cable or hose. The cables and hoses should always be fixed at the moving end. The fixed end should always involve strain relief. Exceptions are made only for certain hydraulic hoses with length com pensation issues or other high pressure hoses (i.e. hydraulic hoses). d1 + d2 % min 1 mm 1,2 x hi % min 2 mm % min 1 mm Clearance space required for cables Case 2: d1 + d2 1.2 x hi If d1 + d2 1.2 x E-Chain inner height, a vertical se para tor or a horizontal shelf must be used to reduce the inner height, thereby preven ting the entanglement of d1 and d2.

8 Principle behind the Igus Energy Chain Gliding Applications For long travels, the upper run of the igus Energy Chain rests on the lower run. The upper run glides partially on the lower run and partially at the same height on a glide bar. The diagrams below show this. For lateral guidance, a guide trough is necessary. If the stationary mounting bracket and the fixed end of the cables and hoses can be placed in the centre, the chain length is calculated as follows: chain length LK = S/2 + K + K2 S = K = Length of travel Add-on for bending radius ( K is taken from the data tables of the individual igus series) K2 = further add-on if the mounting bracket location is set lower (specified by igus ) Mobile camera, live images, Olympic Games in Atlanta S = 0 m v = m/s in push-pull operation Example of lowered mounting height, in field operation Depending on the technical data and the selected Energy Chain the mounting point of the moving end of the Energy Chain must be lowered on some units. In our system analysis for long travels, we give exact details for our specific application. The illustrations below show the function of a Energy Chain System for gliding applications. The fixed end of the Energy Chain is located in the centre of the travel distance. Gliding application up to 00m realised. Guide Troughs The Guide Trough is an important element in long travel applications. Usually, the hide of the trough must be at least twice that of the chain link height. The sides must provide a chamfered opening. The trough inner width is the same as the chain outer width plus mm. Along the side of the trough, where the upper run cannot glide on the lower run, glide bars must be installed. We recommend the use of polymer glide bars from igus, they are optimally matched to the chain material and achieved the lowest values for friction, noise and wear. Guide troughs with and without glide bars can be obtained for almost all igus Energy Chains. We will gladly assist you if you wish to make the troughs yourself. Important: When assembling the trough parts, the following points must be given particular attention: Properly align all trough parts upon installation All screw heads should be flush with the trough Smooth levelled transition between the end of the chain and the glide bars Solid connection with the glide surface These points must be observed when using assembly-friendly igus guide troughs. Various glide through systems are available 147

62 Guide Troughs Long travels with Guide Troughs igus guide troughs Guide troughs are used for long travels, (travels from to 12 m) and greater, depending on the E-Chain type. They allow to continue smooth, low-friction operation in these long-travel situations. If the E-Chains are installed in the center of the travel ( center-mounted ), they glide on themselves for half the travel. For the other half, we recommend glide bars, which are assembled in the trough and on which the E-Chains glide. igus guide troughs are available from stock with these highly abrasion-resistant polymer glide bars, which perform well with igus E-Chains regarding noise, abrasion and friction. Trough type igus offers guide troughs made of corrosion-resistant aluminum, steel, stainless steel, as well as tubes and insert troughs (with steel side plates). The trough type to be used depends on the application conditions and the requirements of the customer. We recommend the igus standard super aluminum guide troughs. Glide bars Glide bars made of igulen are optimally matched to the E-Chain material and achieve the lowest values for friction, noise and wear. Glide bars must be used, if the fixed point is in the center of the travel. It means: Use half of the guide trough with glide bars and the other half of the guide trough without glide bars. Delivery condition The troughs are delivered in 2 meter sections. Special lengths up to 6 m are possible. The left and right side parts are installed on location with the appropriate distance - depending on the width of the E-Chain. The necessary width is shown by the dimension BI on the guide trough pages. The E-Chain sides can be linked with the base through screwing, welding or a special igus installation set. The fixation module for the igus Super-Alu-Trough is a quick fix for mounting the stationary end of an E-Chain with a KMA-mounting bracket. With this new module a fast and easy mounting onto the Super-Aluminum- Trough is possible without any drilling. Trough without glide bars - Trough with glide bars - E-Chain glides on E-Chain E-Chain glides on glide bars Center mounted: 1/2 Travel with glide bars - 1/2 Travel without glide bars 201

The following serves as a rule of thumb: The total of all cable/ hose diameters must not exceed 60% of the available cross section. A clearance of min. % (min. 1mm) needs to be maintained towards the next cable and the Triflex. Please see the attached chart for available cross sections.

67 otary Motion B B is reverse bending radius and means that the e-chain can bend in two directions. Each igus e-chain can incorporate B designs, with the exception of several radii, for the e-tubes 117 to 980 and for the Series 07, 09, 14, 1, and 17. The B does not necessarily need to be identical to the normal bending radius of an e-chain. For example: Part No /42.0, describes a Series 280 e-chain with an inner width of 10 mm, standard bending radius of 0 mm and B of 42 mm. Most rotary motions can be achieved with the B option. Angles of rotation up to 40 have been realised.
