e-loop questions and benefits

  • Q: What alternative is there to service loops and umbilical's?

    A: igus has developed the e-loop as an alternative to the service loop so that cables with large cross sections and heavy weights can be guided safely in hanging applications. The energy supply system is a round, three-dimensional modular system that can move strain-relieved cables with a defined bend radius. The cables can be used individually and replaced in case of maintenance. The chain links are also replaceable at any time.

  • Q: How does the e-loop absorb forces that act on it?

    A: The new energy supply system from igus is built around a high-strength plastic rope that absorbs the tensile forces of the cables. The rope is composed of a synthetic plastic fibre and is therefore shatter-proof, weather-resistant, flexible and corrosion-free.

  • Q: How can I exchange the cables in the e-loop?

    A: Unhook, lay down, unscrew, exchange cable(s), screw shut, remount. That's all it takes regarding maintenance thanks to the simple modular setup of the energy chain. For the rarest of cases you should always have a replacement chain at hand to avoid downtime.

  • Q: How does igus deliver the e-loop and how is it installed?

    A: igus delivers the e-loop in the way that you prefer: either completely assembled or fully harnessed, on a drum or on a pallet. There is a defined thread at the end of the e-loop for additional mounting. Our installation team is happy to take care of the assembly.

  • Q: How are components prevented from falling down?

    A: The individual chain links are all secured with screw connections, so that no component can fall down.

Benefits

  •  

    Tech up

    • Modular system, easy to open
    • No loose parts with optional screw lock
    • Maximum cable/hose outer diameter up to 76mm or 500mm bend radius
    • Protects against impact due to robust PU outer body
    • Offers operational reliability due to secondary locking tension of all bolted connections
    • Resistant to dirt
    • An optional "drop safe" version is also available, with additional screw locking - as well as a stainless steel version
    • Weather-resistant
  •  

    Cost down

  •  

     Proof

    • Permitted 50kN operating load of the plastic rope
    • Resistance to vibration and weather tested in the laboratory
    • Shock-resistant and shatter-proof
    • Structure of the e-loop is "Drop Safe" due to double screw locking of the parts
    • Design based on the standard e-loop, which has already demonstrated its resistance to weathering and vibration at 150,000DH
    • Protects against impact due to robust PU outer body
    • Delivery time from 6 weeks
  •  

     Sustainability

    • Have your energy chain recycled at the end of its life cycle with the igus chainge recycling program. No matter what manufacturer.
    • igus has been an investor in Mura Technology from the beginning and is helping advance chemical recycling. From plastic waste to crude oil in 20 minutes.
