The drives for the unit are supplied partly with hydraulic or water lines, but primarily with motor cables, while they are extended and retracted from the ship's hull. In this week’s video, igus demonstrates how energy chains effectively manage the cables and hoses involved, while keeping the installation space small. The low weight, as well as the corrosion resistance of igus energy chains, give clear advantages over their steel counterparts.
Energy chain systems and cables from igus withstand the toughest environmental conditions. On drilling vessels or on oil rigs, they ensure a reliable supply of energy.
