igus® LeviChain - Almost contactless energy supply system for long travel distances
The principle of the magnetic "floatation" is based on the attractive forces of the prevailing magnetic field, which "centers" the E-Chain® in all directions. By this "centering" the E-Chain® moves almost contactless with favorable friction and wear behavior and minimum abrasion.
Long travel distances possible, without laying the
E-Chains® on top of each other
Almost no abrasion and "no" wear due to low-abrasion E-Chain® links (without pin/hole connection) as well as almost contactless movement of the energy chain
Compared to other energy supply systems, the igus® system LeviChain is extraordinarily low noise [41.7 dB(A) in 1 m distance], as there is almost no rolling or grinding noise
High speeds and accelerations, as well as braking action possible
Simple assembly, also in installed condition with cables and hoses through the proven "Easy" principle
Variable installation positions (horizontal and vertical) possible
Little space requirement in height and width
IPA certificate
Long travel distances up to 40 m with high speeds and accelerations, almost without contact, possible with the new igus® LeviChain
Modular igus® E-Chain® in various widths and bending radii, "magnet-free"
2Contactless guidance in the top run and alternatively in the bottom run too
