Energy Supply System, Guidelok Slimline P

igus has advanced its guidelok slimline Energy Supply System once again and now presents the new GLSL-P, which is entirely made of plastic. The guide system for hanging energy chain applications does not require an enclosed channel trough or other elaborate, expensive enclosures and holds the energy chain system as in aisle travels on the railway. Instead, lightweight plastic segments are mounted only every two metres, which saves up to 80 per cent trough costs and also weight compared to the previous metal option. Therefore, even faster speeds and accelerations can be achieved. Another advantage of the plastic novelty is that vibrations are absorbed better. Two automatically actuated compensators in the segments of the guidelok slimline P fix the e-chain and ensure a quiet, smooth run. If the chain moves in the radius through the segment, the compensator is activated and fixes the energy chain. The innovative locking levers are complemented by open guide rails made of reinforced plastic between the segments, which allows for more dynamics. igus GmbH is a globally leading manufacturer of energy chain systems and polymer plain bearings.
