Separators can be positioned at any point in the chain cross-section. The standard separator part no. 501 acts as a secure support by virtue of its wide base, even in the case of thick cables/hoses.

The various elements of the interior separation kit allow vertical as well as horizontal division of the Energy Chains® and tubes Side-plates and shelves form the basic framework of a rack system. On a height grid of 0.28 (7 mm), shelves of different widths can be arranged in 11 stages. Assignments are recommended in the chapter titled "Design specifications".
During installation of the "open" slotted separator, the uppermost and lowermost "grid levels" cannot be occupied by a shelf.
Examples of interior separation:
Slotted separators Art. No. 505 for very fine divisions. However, these separators cannot be integrated into an existing system of divisions without prior dismantling of the interior separation. Slotted separator Art. No. 509 which is open on one side can be post-integrated into existing interior-separation systems without the need for dismantling them beforehand (Does not apply to shelves at the uppermost or lowermost grid levels).

Guide troughs

Guide troughs made of steel

1. Guide trough (blue)
2. Glide bar (black)
3. Assembly set (red)
4. Individual fastening without C-profile
5. Length of profile rail

Guide troughs are used for applications in which the upper run of the Energy Chain® glides on the lower run. The following components are required if the igus® steel guide trough is used.Guide trough without glide bars part no. 96-30, guide trough with glide bars part no. 96-31. Installation sets as a joint connection part no. 96-50. XX
.XX indicates the length of the C-profiles on which the guide trough is mounted.The standard length of the trough components and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m). The required total length of the guide trough is determined by the travel.
