Battery and control cabinet extensions with durable cables

The underside of the carriage body requires effective protection from falling rocks. In addition, the cables have to be guided safely so that the batteries can be pulled out without problems for maintenance. Therefore, robust energy chains and cables are often used for train battery boxes. Both components are also available as so-called readychains, i.e. pre-fitted e-chains including the required cables.

e-chains by igus are characterised by their particular low weight. In addition, they are designed in a way that makes them especially strong and durable. In combination with chainflex cables, this leads to a particularly fail-safe system, which helps avoid cable breaks and so-called corkscrews. The extremely robust chainflex cables can cope with particularly small bend radii and have been developed especially for torsional movements. Furthermore, chainflex cables come with a 4-year guarantee. e-chains and chainflex cables are also available in a version that complies with EN 45545.
