  • 135m installation space
  • Bend radii from 40mm up to 100mm
  • 6dB(A) quieter than usual "clean cable"
Cost down

Cost down

  • Fast assembly due to "zipper" opening function
  • No minimum order quantity
  • Cable-friendly with defined minimum bend radius
  • Simple maintenance and inspection of the cables inside
Proof

Proof

Sustainability

Sustainability

  • 99% material saving possible as, if there is a problem with a cable, only the cable in question has to be replaced and not the entire system
  • Have your energy chain processed as part of the igus Chainge recycling program regardless of the manufacturer
  • igus supports the plastics circular economy and is investing in chemical recycling

Interior separation configurator for the e-skin

With the interior separation configurator for the e-skin corrugated tubes, you can create filling variants in just a few seconds and configure complete e-skin corrugated tubes with interior separation and mounting brackets.
  • Easy to fit
  • Avoidance of filling errors due to integrated filling guidance
  • Automatic creation of a parts list and drawing with dimensioning
  • Easy to submit an enquiry about and order the complete corrugated tube with chainflex cables and interior separations in the desired configuration.

Technical details

Mounting brackets: strong, with integrated strain relief
 
Small installation space: small bend radii
 
Unsupported application due to stop-dogs on the upper shell of the e-skin
 
Cleanroom ISO Class 1: Virtually no wear or abrasion
 
Cable-friendly: defined minimum bend radius
 
Easy to assemble: Upper and lower shells can be opened for easy filling
e-skin

Commercially available corrugated hose

igus e-skin

Bend radius of corrugated hoses Corrugated hoses have the same bend radius along their entire length
Upper/lower shell of e-skin The e-skin consists of two shells (upper/lower shell). The shells can be configured in order to define the nature of the movement involved
Inherent rigidity of corrugated hoses Corrugated hoses have little or no inherent rigidity.
Short unsupported e-skin lengths e-skin is suitable for short unsupported lengths in a small installation space (2) and has a defined bend radius (5)
Lateral application of force Very little if any stability in respect of forces acting on the sides
Lateral stability of the e-skin Lateral stability thanks to the oval (6) geometry of the e-skin
e-skin Corrugated hoses cannot be used unsupported
e-skin for short unsupported lengths e-skin supports itself and can be used for short, unsupported lengths
e-skin Corrugated hoses for dynamic applications cannot be opened
Outer radius of e-skin e-skin can be opened on its outer radius and filled quickly
Interior of e-skin The interior of corrugated tubes cannot be divided into sections
Interior separation of e-skin e-skin can be fitted with interior separation system

Tested in the igus test laboratory for use in the real world

Continuous test


Continuous test

Developed for cleanroom applications, the e-skin has been tested under real conditions with 6.4 million double strokes at 3m/s in the laboratory.
Bending test


Bending test

The standard bending tests show how flexible the e-skin soft is. It only bends, even under loads that would break other energy chains.
Noise level measurement

Noise level measurement

This test shows how quiet 'e-skin' corrugated tubes and 'e-skin flat' cleanroom cables are. Compared to flat ribbon cables of competitors, the noise level of the e-skin flat is only 29dB(A).

Suitable cables for cleanroom applications

  • 918 types with cleanroom classification IPA Class 1
  • 166 types with cleanroom classification IPA Class 2
  • With highly abrasion-resistant jacket materials
  • Tested and inspected with up to 36 month guarantee
