With the increasing
electrification of cars, so too is the demand for moving energy supply systems
to reliably guide and protect. igus, the plastics expert, deals with all the
challenges that energy supply systems bring with them in vehicles. In addition
to its standard range of lightweight plastic chains, igus can also give customised
solutions for every customer.
Whether in cars, commercial vehicles or special vehicles, the
demands on energy supply solutions are becoming increasingly complex. The
number of cables is steadily increasing, as is the required number of cycles. To
protect them and optimise their service life, energy supply systems are
increasingly being used. The applications are many and varied; from seat
adjusters or sliding doors and tailgates to adjustable headlights and the power
supply to entertainment systems. All these applications have very limited space
for the energy supply system yet must offer absolute reliability. Replacement
of chains and/or cables would result in complex issues, for example where
panels must be removed.
"With its plastic plain bearings, igus has had a strong
presence in the automotive industry for many years and has been certified
according to the standard ISO/TS 16949:2009. This demonstrates our expertise in
this area," says Johannis Zournatzis, Industry Manager for automotive e-chainsystems
at igus GmbH. "The large number of cables in a vehicle must also operate
continuously in moving applications. In order to be able to guarantee their
safe use, we provide carefully matched chains and cables as well as expert
advice." Suitable lightweight and compact energy chain systems are
available, such as the easy-to-open E2 micro or one-piece E1, a kind of strip
that can be easily shortened and lengthened. "Since we want to find the
ideal solution for each customer, we offer customised solutions using close
collaboration, in the event that the standard repertoire doesn't suffice,"
says Zournatzis. This means the need-based development of chain types, sizes,
bending radii and accessories, even custom-made new moulds for injection
moulding. In the test lab in Cologne ,
spread over a floor area of 1750 square metres, special solutions for long-term
use in motion are also developed and tested.
Safe use and simple
installation
The igus energy chains protect cables during operation
and are also easy to install, due to the design of connectors and strain relief
elements. Cables can be inserted easily due to the easy-to-open chain designs.
Energy chains protect cables by preventing accidental kinking or damage. This
makes igus energy supply systems in the car not only safe, but also simple.

The number of cables in cars, which are
frequently moved, is steadily increasing. To protect them permanently and thus
and optimise their service life, energy supply systems are increasingly used in
these applications. (Source: igus GmbH)
