igus has a lighter weight e-chain for cable management/protection applications with large unsupported lengths and high fill weights that was previously the domain of larger, more expensive energy chains.
The “L” Lean variant has been specially designed for users for who its industry standard E4Q is too large. From the seventh robot axis in linear robot applications to machine tools, the igus E4Q-series energy chain has established itself as a benchmark.
However, in applications with medium loads (machine tools, woodworking, car washes etc.), the E4Q is oversized.
To offer users the advantages of the E4Q in these applications as well and at a lower price, they developed the L version – the E4Q.64L. Depending on the width, the low-cost version of the energy chain costs between 15% and 20% less than the E4Q.
