Profile roller e-chain®: For very high fill weights and speeds

P4 System

Benefits:

  • The pitch for chain links with and without rollers is the same
  • The upper run rollers run through the lower run rollers, not overthem, as in previous designs. This avoids undesired bumps
  • Captive roller integrated in side plate
  • Long distances (up to 800 m), high additional loads (up to 30 kg/m)
  • For very long travel distances and high speeds up to 10 m/s travel speed
  • autoglide crossbars ensure safe guidance on very long travel distances
  • Available in 4 inner heights (32, 42, 56, 80 mm)
  • Modular P4 construction kit with shelving from the E4 system
  • Strong reduction of the driving force required for moving the energy chain to below 25%
