Reclaimers / bucket wheel excavators

e-chainsystems® as alternative to slip rings, cable drums, and festoon systems

The frequently used classic systems for supplying energy can frequently be advantageously replaced by retrofitting, as well as upgrading existing plants with e-chainsystems®. Possible benefits of this include:

Concurrent transmission of various media

Continuous connection of fibre-optic cables or wire-based data links

Minimised maintenance effort

Shorter cable runs

Low space requirements (no cable junction)

Resistance to weather influences

 
Our igus® engineers and technicians will gladly support you with the design of your application.

Circular motions with "RBR"

"RBR" means reverse bending radius, and states that the e-chain® can bend in two directions. Configurations with "RBR" can be fabricated for many igus® e-chains®. The "RBR" is not necessarily identical with the "BR" (bending radius) of an e-chain®.

Most rotary motions can be achieved with the RBR option. Angles of rotation up to 900° have been realized. Below is an example of rotary motion using an RBR E-Chain®. Please consult igus® for your particular application.

Circular motions require less installation height. The e-chains® generally glide on surfaces made from plastics, stainless steel or steel, and are guided into a circular motion by guide channels. See "side mounted" for further design tips. Bending radii, circle radii, and chain widths are variable in this product range.

B = rotating
C = end of travel

Example of a circular motion with "RBR". Here, the outer ring rotates. The inner ring could rotate just as well
