Long travel distances always pose special requirements on an e-chain system®. From a certain point, the upper run needs the potential to glide on the lower run or on glide bars. Moreover the e-chain system® requires guidances to prevent a lateral offset. In most cases this is ensured by a guide trough. There are also applications in which a guide trough is not required due to optical or spatial conditions. In order to cover this gap, igus® developed the autoglide system in 1995. autoglide are self-aligning e-chains®, which can dispense with guide troughs up to 50 m travel. You save purchase and installation costs and can keep tracks in the hall free for forklifts or industrial trucks.
For travels up to 80 m.
For travel speeds up to 2.5 m/s
autoglide chain links of one piece, no additional parts required
Very fast installation times for long travels
Guide troughs not required!
Narrow installation width, quiet operation
Functional guarantee for the entire system with chainflex® cables
