E4.162 series

Here you can configure your e-chain system? individually. All entries and changes are taking over to the part list which is situated at the end of the page.

Series E4.162 - chain, openable from both sides

1. Mounting brackets made of steel
2. Noise absorber, optional ЈC10dB(A)
3. Sliding surfaces, long travels
4. Swarf protection
5. No camber
6. High strength and stability thanks to undercut design
7. Locking crossbar with scaling on rear side
8. Straight running due to inner/outer- link design
9. Quiet running due to built-in brake

Series E4.162 is suitable for the following types of applications:

Vertical: Hanging applications Ём 120m, standing applications Ём 6m
Horizontal: Unsupported applications Ём 6.75m, gliding applications Ём 450m
Circular movement: Rotating applications possible, may require machining (machining rework is always required from rotation angles of 180Ёу)

When to use Series E4.162

When a robust e-chain? with 162mm inner height is required
If an inner width up to 600mm is required
For unsupported lengths up to 6.75m and fill weights up to 90kg/m
For travel lengths up to 450m
For very long unsupported lengths and fill weights
Also suitable for side-mounted, standing and hanging applications
Many modular options and accessories available

When not to use Series E4.162

When an e-chain? for tough environments with an even greater inner height is required
Series 800
When a lightweight version is required
Series 1640

* The required clearance height is HF = H + 100 mm (at 5 kg/m fill weight), which should be observed in all types of applications. Please contact us if you have particularly confined space requirements.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

A=moving end, B=fixed end
Pitch: 200mm per link
Chain links per m: 5
Travel: S
Chain length = S/2 + K

Unsupported length

The unsupported length depends on fill weight
X axis: unsupported length in m FLB/FLG
Y axis: fill weight in kg/m
Lower scale: travel S in m
FLB = unsupported with permissible sag
FLG = unsupported with straight upper run

Standard 01
As standard, igus? separators should be fitted every 2nd chain link!
Please observe minimum clearance from the side links! e-chain?: 6 mm

Separator 162.1
Standard - for all uses, separator, wide base, for maximum
holding force and stability in e-chains? and e-tubes.

For pivoting brackets

Same 2 parts set for all chain widths

Electrically conductive

Note on mounting brackets: The carrier will end with outer or inner side links based on the e-chain? length. For the best appearance, make sure the e-chain? ends with outer side links whenever possible. This is always the case with an odd number of links.
