Aluminium Support Tray for Energy Chains

Igus now offers Aluminium Support Tray for Energy Chains. Support trays help to keep energy chains moving smoothly and safely. When e-chains operate in “unsupported” mode, support trays enable the lower run of the chain to roll smoothly and securely. In addition to the previously available versions made of galvanised steel and stainless steel, igus now offers a light option made of anodised aluminium. With the anodising process, the metal becomes highly resistant to corrosion and blends well visually in the design of modern machines. The structure of the super aluminium support tray consists of two side plates, each equipped with a damping profile and a sliding bar. This guarantees an extremely quiet and low-wear running of the e-chain. The e-chain can be connected quickly and easily by using the plastic fixed end modules requiring no drilling of the aluminium tray. In the standard version, the side plates measure 2 metres in length, with a support distance of 1 metre. The open design prevents any debris from sticking and disrupting the operation. Optionally, however, a floor can also be integrated. Due to its modular design, the system can be adapted easily to the respective energy chain. The width can be adjusted with only a few steps at the clamping shoe using the supplied mounting kit with C-profiles.
