E3 e-chain® system: 3-piece cable carrier for low-noise operation within small spaces

E3: System for highly dynamic applications

Three-piece e-chain® with many new ideas - the igus® system E3 combines small pitch, silent operation, low noise, stability, simple installation and cost efficiency. The resilient element replaces the pin-bore system as connector and prevents relative movements between the joints. For this reason, a complete freedom from wear is attained (clean room). In order to reduce the manufacturing and assembly costs, the spring clip is mounted not individually, but at a length of 10 chain links.

E3: System for highly dynamic applications

The cycle times are always shorter in the automation, whereas the requirements in noise reduction, service life, vibration dampening are always higher. For this wide area of small e-chain®, igus® now introduces the E3 system product range that completely caters to these requirements:

  • Extremely low noise operation (max. 38 dB(A)).
  • The resilient element replaces pins and bores as fastener
  • Modular chain made of three elements
  • Cost-efficient crossbar and separator "on the band"
  • Quicker and easier access to cables by the zipper system
  • Good stability through stable, interlocked links
  • Easy to shorten or lengthen
  • Ideal for flat cables
  • Accessories: Separators, integrated strain reliefs, mounting brackets

Typical industrial sectors and applications

  • Production and processing of semiconductors
  • Optics
  • Automatic insertion machines
  • Materials handling technology
  • Measuring technology
  • Printer and plotter
  • Clean room application
  • General mechanical engineering
