Our energy chains are used in telescopic launch and recovery systems. The rods must be strong and operate reliably even in heavy seas. The e-chains ensure that hydraulic hoses and cables are guided safely.

The remote-controlled deep-sea system from the Marine Technology Group at the University of Bremen dives to depths of up to 4,000m. All components are exposed to temperature fluctuations, ranging from 40°C on deck to 1°C in the water. The arms of the submarine collect samples on the seabed, and triflex multi-axis energy chains protect the cables and tubes located there.

An ocean wave energy converter demonstrates an innovative approach for generating electricity from renewable energy sources. The installed parts have to be extremely resilient and "suitable for seawater" due to the aggressive environment. The surface pressures achieved are around 50MPa, the maximum speed amounts to 10rpm. The decision was made in favour of iglidur Z plain bearings. They help achieve significantly better results than bronze plain bearings, for example.
