The large igus® e-chain® test lab

Better products, but more affordable – a key ingredient: igus® research and development.

Test laboratory for energy chains - facts:

  • 2,147 m² (total area igus test laboratory 3,800 m²)
  • More than 15,000 tests per year for all products
  • 53 testing machines
  • 10 billion e-chain cycles per year in the e-chains and chainflex test laboratory 
  • Three billion test cycles for e-chains alone

What kind of tests are taken?
