System E6.1: new generation of quiet running and cleanroom suitable echains®
After 10 successful years as a cleanroom and “whisper“ chain, the new generation is in the starting blocks. Besides the E6‘s proven benefits the new generation offers further advantages that significantly simplify the handling. Moreover, due to changes in the design the accessibility to the interior has been improved, the weight reduced and the assembly made easier.
NC-Option without camber by turning the inner link
Extremely quiet through small pitch and "brake" in the stop dog system
Extremely low vibration
Low-abrasion fastening system (no pin/hole connection)
Virtually no polygon effect, thereby “round“ operation
Smooth and obstacle free interior design for a long lifetime of cables and hoses
Series E61.29: Snap-open crossbars on both sides and removable along the inner and outer radius
Approx. 30% reduction compared to System E6
Low-priced
New generation interior separation, even more cable-friendly.
New snap-open mechanism, Series E61.29 optionally snaps open on left or right sides
KMA with fastening options in any direction
You can find the right E-Chain® quickly by entering concrete parameters and with the aid of a comparison table.
Joining, separating and opening of the e-chain® and e-tubes.
Applications in various industrial sectors and in the igus® test laboratory.
E61.29
Inner height hi: 29 mm
Inner widths Bi: 30 - 140 mm
bending radii R: 55 - 150 mm
Pitch: 22 mm
E61.52
Inner height hi: 52 mm
Inner widths Bi: 40 - 300 mm
bending radii R: 75 - 200 mm
Pitch: 30 mm
To protect the cables and hoses in the e-chain® even more effectively the design of the new E6.1 has been majorly advanced. Opening crossbars are very smooth and rounded, as is the transition from the chain link to the opening crossbar. All injection and marking locations were positioned outside of the cable cross-section.

For applications with max. accelerations
When minimum noise and wear are important
IPA classification - Report IG1303-640-1:
ISO Class 1, according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1
for series E61.29.050.075.0.CR at v = 0,5 m/s, 1,0 m/s, 2,0 m/s
Extremely low noise
Y = weight [kg/m]
The new E6.1 generation has increased acceleration capability due to weight reduction - the e-chain® is also extremely quiet and highly dynamic.
Y = Noise level dB (A)
Series E61.29 underwent noise testing in the igus® lab and
demonstrates a noise level at -2 dB(A) below the
already class-leading noise level of the igus® Series E6.29.
The already low abrasion of the e-chain® is yet again significantly reduced by employing a special material. In many applications where cumbersome special solutions are used, a simple standard e-chain® can be used instead. An extensive test program has been completed for both gliding and unsupported applications. For many applications, the e-chain® made of special material can be operated practically free of abrasion. IPA testing has confirmed that standard e-chains® by igus® meet cleanroom requirements, and have been rated as ”tested and rated as very good“. Cleanrooms call for a very high wear-resistance of moving parts - e-chains® (for example) must therefore be highly wear-resistant in order to meet the standard specifications for this sensitive environment.
