How energy chains and polymer bearings benefit
In 'question and answer' mode, Matthew Aldridge, Product Director, igus (UK), explains how Energy Chain Systems, polymer bearings and Chainflex cables can benefit the machine tool industry.
Linear bearings are small and maintenance-free
Small, lightweight, quiet running, high-speed linear bearing system's hard anodised aluminium rails, iglidur J polymer sliding strips and cast carriages are maintenance free and repel dirt.
The short transmission lengths typically found in the consumer market are problem-free, as hardly any movement is involved.
In industrial applications, however, Energy Chains can guide and protect cables over distances of up to 10m.
Here, cables often fail mechanically after just t2m or 3m due to their structure, or are simply not flexible enough to achieve the required transmission lengths.
Now igus has solved the problem with a combination of its new FireWire connector cable and its innovative Energy Chains, which can guide and protect cables over distances of up to 10m.
The first tests reveal applications with a data volume transmission rate of up to 400Mbit/s are now possible.
* Special structure - the bus pairs and supply wires in the new igus FireWire cable are twisted together with highly flexible shields and an optimised pitch length.
The gusset-filling extruded, flame-resistant, TPE outer jacket provides the protection the cable needs to prevent core ruptures.
The FireWire cable is DESINA-compliant and also has UL and CSA approval.
