Two new e-spool energy chain variants from igus

igus UK has launched two new variants of its innovative e-spool energy chain.

The new heavy duty and motor flange versions are more powerful, enabling users to more easily retract and guide cables. The HD version has been designed with an extra tough spring to provide stronger retraction, while the motor version with motor flange is available for use with a motor to allow higher filling loads and movements in any direction. e-spool is the only cabling solution that guides all media types such as data, compressed air and liquids, flexibly and with minimum space in one system. All e-spool versions are available in different extension lengths (0 to 4m, 4 to 7m and 7 to 14m), and with one or two twisterbands depending on the cable capacity required. The maximum spooling speed is approximately 1m/s and the twisterband enables cables with up to 17mm to be housed.
