Medium Energy Chains

Medium cable carriers designed for medium loads

The E2/000 and E2.1 energy chains set the global standard for mechanical engineering cable management, offering a reliable, durable solution for medium‑load applications. Designed with increased usable interior space while maintaining compact outer dimensions, these energy chains operate more quietly, deliver extended service life, and provide enhanced strength. Ideal for conveyor technology, construction machinery, and plastics processing equipment, the E2 series ensures efficient, long‑lasting cable protection and smooth machine performance across a wide range of industrial environments.
