Tech up & Cost down with energy chain systems
energy chains are the umbilical cord of every modern machine. They ensure the continuous supply of energy, data, fluids and air and are constantly in motion. Our task is to offer you all components - energy chain, cable, connector, "smart" components and all accessories - as a complete system and to guarantee reliable function. We will find the optimum energy supply that works best for your application.
In order to show you the potential of igus® energy supply, simply leave your e-mail address or upload your application as a sketch, photo or video and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
Tech up now and reduce costs with energy chain and cable
We know what applications need and customers want. We know our products and their specifications inside out.
And we will show you how you can benefit from this and save on your tech up and costs.
Ask us about guaranteed savings and technical improvements. If we are unable to fulfil our promise and do notofferyou any savings1) or technical improvement2) , we will recommend an alternative solution on request.
In any case, we will be happy to send you a small thank you for your enquiry.

Weight reduced by up to 48
Plastic is lighter than metal, that's nothing new. Our new energy chains are now even lighter than their predecessors. And a lighter energy chain means more payload and higher speeds.

Over 80 % less installation space possible
energy chains are the most modular and probably the most compact form of energy supply, especially when energy, data, air and liquids have to be routed in one system. With over 200,000 e-chain® parts, we have the right energy supply for your installation space.
▲Improve technology
Runs and runs and runs ...
10 years and longer. With a 36-month guarantee
energy chains from igus® are highly stable and durable, as they have proven in many applications under a wide range of conditions. Every year, around 10 billion e-chain® cycles are carried out in the chain and cable laboratory at igus®. We can therefore say exactly how long an energy chain will last in its application.

Whisper quiet ...
Noise emissions reduced by 25
Noise emissions from machines and systems have been an important issue not only since the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Every component, especially moving components, can contribute to reducing the noise level of a machine. Our e-chain® are particularly low-noise and low-vibration. At 32 dB(A) at 1 m/s, for example, they are quieter than a quiet residential street at night or a whisper.

Assembly time reduced by up to 88
Assembly time is a key factor when focussing on cost savings. Our openable energy chains are all easy to open by hand or screwdriver, no need to tighten screws. Ready-to-install readychain® systems also cut assembly times enormously and reduce manufacturing costs.

The best energy supply doesn't have to be the most expensive
Purchasing is one of the most important tasks in a company. Buyers with the right expertise can realise major savings potential within the company. With the abundance of parts that a buyer has to procure, it is not easy to keep track of everything. We will show you examples of how tech up and cost reduction can work for purchasing, but also for other departments.
How do I configure the most favourable energy chain that works safely?
With our online configurators, you can configure the perfect and most favourable energy chain that is sure to work in just a few steps. Calculation of the expected service life of the energy chain and the chainflex® cable.
What our customers say:
- Whether in monetary terms or as time savings during assembly, selection, design, etc. 2) Technical improvement, e.g. through increased ease of assembly, durability, smooth running, etc. 36 months warranty on e-chain® and chainflex® cable according to igus® conditions are obligatory.
