Horizontal Guidelok-System
Especially for long travels on machine tools, if the E-Chain® has to be gliding, metallic chips are a problem. igus® Guidelok is a cost-effective solution
Travels, unsupported up to 50m possible
1. Chips cannot get stuck between upper and lower run
2. Modular system with few parts (also possible without sideways trough)
3. enormous increase of "self supporting" lenght of E-Chains®
4. Lower push-/pull forces (smaller E-Chains®, self supporting and rollers = energy efficient)
smaller E-Chains® for any given self supporting length
Lower cost than most steel chains or sophisticated gliding systems
Open guide trough design, chips can fall through
Typical industrial sectors and applications
Machine tools
Applications in the chip sector
Everywhere that a gliding application is not recommended

Design principle
Horizontal “Guidelok” guides the E-Chain® on special spring loaded roller supports (1), that are pushed back by the E-Chain®´s radius, clearing its path
The E-Chain® is guided in the trough channel, pushing back the spring loaded roller support with its radius...
...which snaps back out again after the E-Chain® radius has passed...
...the upper run then gets to lay on the roller support.
