igus further develops its offer of winding energy chain systems. The new
igus “e-spool” heavy duty (HD) and motor flange versions are even more
powerful. The HD variant is equipped with an extra strong spring to retract the
energy chain at vertical applications. Moreover the motor version with motor
flange is available for high filling loads and movements in any direction. The
e-spool connects two energy supply systems into one system – a standard energy
chain being wound and an igus twisterband for rotational movements.
No matter whether it’s, flat on or
underneath the ground – the winding and space-saving energy chain system
e-spool from igus is variably applicable in any directions. More importantly,
e-spool is the only solution that guides all media types such as data,
compressed air and liquids flexibly and with minimum space in one system.
E-spool connects two different energy supply systems in one system – a standard
energy chain guided via a reel that always supports the proper length and
tension of the energy supply system and, an igus twisterband that performs
rotational movements. This design allows movements in any direction, hence is
suitable for a number of fields of application: process cranes, mobile crane
trucks, sorting plants or stage applications.
e-spool module construction kit: three variants, three lengths and two
versions
igus offers different e-spool
solutions, depending on the pull out direction and load: The standard e-spool
(SP) with a spring mechanism for spooling up the chain is appropriated for most
applications and for any directions. Some vertical applications require a
higher retraction force. Now the heavy duty variant (SPHD) comes into play:
Here the retraction spring is stronger to be able to spool up the energy chain
up to 14 m without problems. In addition, a motor variant with flange (SPM) is
offered for especially high loads in any direction. igus delivers e-spool for
the use with motor including motor coupling. The user installs motor and
control.
All three e-spool versions are
available in different extension lengths with 4, 7 or 14 m and one or two twisterbands
in the standard program. The maximum spooling speed is about 1 m/s.
Modular alternative to the classic cable drum
The twisterband connects the reel
with the shaft support, which serves as an interface to the permanently
installed cables. This avoids the costly conventional slip ring that is usually
used for cable drums. With it different cables can be connected, replaced or
added any time within the smallest space in
a complete system. The twisterband gives the largest possible cable
diameter of 17 mm and the minimal bending radius of 75 mm. For more capacity,
twisterbands can be used on both sides of the drum.
The e-spool from igus allows
movements in any direction – for assembly cranes, lift trucks or ventilation
systems. (Source: igus GmbH)
