White paper: Energy chain with steel-rope guide as an alternative to a busbar?
Up to now, many users have been relying on busbar systems to supply power to indoor and outdoor cranes, electric trains and storage and retrieval units. A similar price to that of a busbar system but with advantages in regard to installation, modularity and maintenance. autoglide 5 combines the best of both worlds.

How does it work?
The metal rope included in delivery is stretched across the floor. Alternatively, guidance via a plastic rope or a profile is also possible. The e-chain can move safely on a cable. The underside of the chain links has a guide element in the middle, so that the energy chain can rest safely on the rope. The autoglide elements ensure wear-resistant and precise rolling of the upper run of the chain.
