Azimuth and rotor blade adjustment
Circular motion with "RBR" (Reverse Bending Radius)
e-chain® can bend in two directions
Versions with "RBR" can be fabricated for almost any igus® e-chain®
Wind power stations
igus® plastic products are used in wind turbine systems ranging from development to productions plants and commissioning.
These can be in the wind turbine itself, e.g. in the wind direction tracker, the tower control, the blade adjustment, or during plant production, e.g. for welding, painting, or during transport and assembly.
igus® products are particularly suitable for:
Safe torsional and circular motions
Cable protection against vibrations
Tight installation spaces, small radii
Maintenance- and lubricant-free bearings
Maintenance- and lubricant-free plastic products in wind power stations
