Series 2828/2928/R7728 “E4/4”
Extension Link
Installation Dimensions
The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using exten-sion links also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported applications and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA mounting brackets or steel mounting brack-ets. We strongly recommend on-site consultation with an igus technician for individual advice regard-ing mounting brackets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widthsup to 118” (3000 mm )can be achieved

The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be placed either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a speciall guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly orcan be used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus®’ standard sep-
arator (Part No. 281) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with largediameter cables or hoses. If the distance needed between separators is greater than this separa-tor’s dimension, we offer the 281-14 separator.
With applications where a large number of small cables need to be individually separated, ourseparator with a narrow foot (Part No. 283) can be used (for Energy Chains only).
A locking separator (Part No. 293) is used in applications with very high relative humidity,such as composting plants. The increased retention force needed for these types of applications isproduced by assymetrical retention “clamps” attached to the chain’s crossbar. If installing theseyourself, please ensure that they are identically aligned.
The 281T separator is used with Energy Tubes only. It clamps to the fixed radius and remainsfree along the other radius to facilitate lid removal.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers aremost often necessary with side-mounted applications.

Series 2828/2928/R7728 “E4/4”Option 2: shelves
Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using the various interior separation elements.Side plates, separators and shelves form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of various widths can be arranged at 5 dif-
ferent heights in .28 (7 mm) increments Design, Chapter 1 for layout recommendations. If open, slotted separators are used, onlythe middle slot is available for shelves.
For special applications, a separator with an integrated injection-molded shelf 2.26 or 1.77(57.5 or 45 mm) is available.

Extension Link
The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using extensionlinks also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA or steel mounting brackets. We stronglyrecommend on-site consultation with an igus technician for individual advice regarding mounting brack-ets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widths upto 118 in. (3000mm)can be achieved

The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be attached either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a special guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly or canbe used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus® standard separator(Part No. 381) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with large diam-eter cables or hoses.
A locking separator (Part No. 383) is used in applications with very high relative humidity, such ascomposting plants. The increased retention force needed for these types of applications is pro-duced by asymmetrical retention “clamps” attached to the chain’s crossbar. If installing these your-self, please ensure that they are identically aligned.
The 381T separator is designed for Energy Tubes incorporating several separators. It clamps tothe inner radius and remains free along the outer radius to facilitate lid removal. Again, uniform align-ment of the separators is critical. The injection-molded part number can be used as an orientationguide.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are mostoften necessary with side-mounted applications.

Guide troughs are used with applications where the upperrun of the Energy Chain® glides on the lower run. If usingigus® steel guide troughs, the following components arerequired:
- Full travel length of guide troughPart No. 93-30
- 1/2 travel length of glide barsPart No. 93-01
- Installation sets as end connectorsPart No. 93-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail on which theguide trough is mounted. The values and part numbersare specified in the table below. The standard length ofthe trough components and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m).The required overall length of the guide trough directlycorrelates to the length of travel
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mountedRequired guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough,82 ft (25 m) glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) guide trough
Part No. 93-30
= 13 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) glide bar
Part No. 93-01
Required number of installation sets: = Number of guide trough components + 1= 25 + 1 = 26Part No. of the installation sets 93-50-XXXExample: 93-50-400 for 15.75 (400 mm) long pro-file rail

Series 4040/4140/R8840 “E4/4”
Extension Link
The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using extensionlinks also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA or steel mounting brackets. We stronglyrecommend on-site consultation with an igus® technician for individual advice regarding mounting brack-ets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widths upto 118 in. (3000mm)can be achieved

The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guidedcarefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender crossbar can beattached either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, the chain/tubecannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outer radius and aspecial guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly or can be used incombination with two standard snap-open crossbars.
Consult igus® for your extender crossbar applications. We are happy to assist you with your design layout.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus® Standard Separator
(Part No. 401) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, when used with large diametercables or hoses.
For applications using a large number of small cables a separator with a narrow “foot” (Part No. 483) can be used.The separators 401 and 483 can be used both with the Series 400/410 Energy Chains® and R880 Energy Tubes.A locking separator (Part No. 404) with increased retention force is also available for chains only. This separator is used in
applications with very high relative humidity, such as composting plants, or in applications subject to extreme loads. It is more difficultto open the Energy Chain® when using a locking separator.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are most often necessary with side-mounted applications.
415-X 484 414

411
Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) perspacer (for example, if one spacer is placed on either side ofthe separator, the overall inner height is reduced by .16 (4 mm).To avoid this, place the spacers on the outside of the open-ing crossbar.
STANDARD
Other elements for interior separation:
Center crossbar The center crossbar was developed for applications in which a very large number ofthin cables are laid in the chain, individually separated. The center crossbar offers theoption of subdividing the Energy Chain® into upper and lower halves, with mutually inde-pendent separators. The center crossbar can be inserted into any chain width.Please consult igus® if your application requires a center crossbar.
Roller SeparatorThe roller separator performs a similar func-tion to the Rollclip, but doubles as a sepa-rator. Consult igus® if you have any ques-tions regarding the roller separator.
RollclipThe Rollclip has ben developed to minimize abrasion of particularly sensitive hoses orcables in an Energy Chain®. The Rollclip is simply clamped onto the opening crossbarof the chain link. The integrated rollers compensate for relative movement between thechain and the hose or cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses or cables. Con-sult igus® if you have questions regarding the Rollclip.

Series 4040/4140/R8840 “E4/4”
Guide troughs are used with applications wherethe upper run of the Energy Chain® glides on thelower run. If using igus® steel guide troughs, thefollowing components are required.
- Full travel length of guide troughPart No. 94-30
- 1/2 travel length glide barsPart No. 93-01
- Installation sets as end connectorsPart No. 94-50-XX
.XX indicates the length of the profile rails onwhich the guide trough is mounted. The valuesand part numbers are specified in the table onthe left. The standard length of the trough com-ponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m). Therequired overall length of the guide trough direct-ly correlates to the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mounted
Required guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough82 ft (25 m) glide bars

Extension Link
The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using extensionlinks also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA or steel mounting brackets. We stronglyrecommend on-site consultation with an igus technician for individual advice regarding mounting brack-ets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widths upto 118 (3000 mm)can be achieved

Page 6.163
The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which large diameter hose or cable must be guided care-fully. It is intended for hoses or cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm.) The extender crossbar can be attachedalong either the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, the chain cannot glide on itselfin this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along outer radius and a special guide trough is required.The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side link directly or can be used in combination with two standard snap-opencrossbars.

Option 1: separatorsOption 1: separators
Separators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. The standard separator(Part No. 501) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with large diame-ter or hoses.
Vertical separators can be used with both Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes for the Series listedabove.
A locking separator (Part No. 504) with increased retention force is available for chains only. This separator is used with appli-cations subject to extreme loads.
The asymmetrical locking separator (Part No. 508) is used with applications involving high relative humidity, such as compost-ing plants. The clamp at the side serves to uniformly align the separators. In order to avoid destroying the separators when openingthe Energy Chain®, make sure all separators are identically aligned.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are most often necessary with side-mounted applications.

511 518 514 405-X
Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) perspacer (for example, if one spacer is placed on either sideof the separator, the overall inner height is reduced by .16(4 mm). To avoid this, place the spacers on the outside ofthe opening crossbar.
RollclipThe Rollclip has ben developed to minimize abrasion of particular-ly sensitive hoses or cables in an Energy Chain®. The Rollclip is sim-ply clamped onto the opening crossbar of the chain link. The inte-grated rollers compensate for relative movement between the chainand the hose or cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses orcables. Consult igus® if you have questions regarding the Rollclip. .35

Standard Series 220, Energy Chain(with crossbars every link)
This design represents the standard EnergyChain® for this size range.
Series R760, Energy Tube(fully enclosed)
Energy Tubes offer excellent cable protection against dirt, debrisand other contaminants, as well as hot chips. This design offerscable and hose accessibility along both radii. Lids along the entireinner radius are completely removable. Lids along the entire outerradius are single-sided, snap-open with a hinge on the other side tokeep them attached to the chain, or completely removable.

Option 1: vertical separatorsVertical separators are adjustable and can be placed at any point along the
chain cross-section.The standard separator Part No. 2201, is used for vertical subdivision.
Because they are slotted, separators can also be used horizontally to form sim-ple compartments. The 7601 Separator performs the same functions for theR760 Energy Tube.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are most often necessary withside-mounted applications.
220R760
Option 2: full-width shelfThis option is ideal for applications involving many thin cables with similar or iden-tical diameters. A separator (part number 2201) 7601 for the Series R760 Ener-gy Tube is put in place and the shelf is inserted into the separator’s slots. If noseparators are desired, a side plate (part number 2203) must be used with theSeries 220 Energy Chain®. This solution is not available for Energy Tubes.

Option 3: shelvesThis option is ideal for applications involving many cables with a wide range
of diameters. When specifying interior shelving, a minimum clearance of 10 mmon one side, with respect to the side wall of the chain link, is required.
A vertical separator (part number 2202) is used to divide the carrier intocompartments and to accomodate the shelves (part number 2200-XXX.) Theside plate (part number 2204) accomodates the shelves directly at the sides ofthe carrier.
A vertical separator with a different part number (7601) is available for the Energy Tube. Side plates are not available for theEnergy Tube.

Guide Troughs
Guide troughs are used with applications where the upperrun of the Energy Chain® glides on the lower run. If usingigus® steel guide troughs, the following components arerequired:
Full travel length of guide troughPart No. 96-301/2 travel length of glide barsPart No. 92-01 Installation sets as end connectorsPart No. 95-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail on which theguide trough is mounted. The values and part numbersare specified in the table on the left. Standard length ofthe trough components and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2m). Therequired overall length of the guide trough directly corre-lates to the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft. (50 m)Center mounted
Required guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough,82 ft (25 m) glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) guide trough

The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using exten-sion links also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported applications and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA mounting brackets or steel mounting brack-ets. We strongly recommend on-site consultation with an igus technician for individual advice regard-ing mounting brackets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widthsup to 118” (3000 mm )can be achieved

The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be placed either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a speciall guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly orcan be used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.

Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) perspacer, (for example, if one spacer is placed on each sideof a separator, the overall inner height is reduced by .16(4 mm). In order to avoid this, place the spacers on theoutside of the opening crossbar.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus®’ standard sep-
arator (Part No. 281) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with largediameter cables or hoses. If the distance needed between separators is greater than this separa-tor’s dimension, we offer the 281-14 separator.
With applications where a large number of small cables need to be individually separated, ourseparator with a narrow foot (Part No. 283) can be used (for Energy Chains only).
A locking separator (Part No. 293) is used in applications with very high relative humidity,such as composting plants. The increased retention force needed for these types of applications isproduced by assymetrical retention “clamps” attached to the chain’s crossbar. If installing theseyourself, please ensure that they are identically aligned.
The 281T separator is used with Energy Tubes only. It clamps to the fixed radius and remainsfree along the other radius to facilitate lid removal.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers aremost often necessary with side-mounted applications.

Series 280/290/R770 “E4/100”Option 2: shelves
Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using thevarious interior separation elements.
Side plates, separators and shelves form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of variouswidths can be arranged at 5 different heights in .28 (7 mm) increments Design, Chapter 1 for lay-out recommendations. If open, slotted separators are used, only the middle slot is available for shelves.
For special applications, a separator with an integrated injection-molded shelf 2.26 or 1.77 (57.5 or 45 mm) is available.

The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using extensionlinks also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA or steel mounting brackets. We stronglyrecommend on-site consultation with an igus technician for individual advice regarding mounting brack-ets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widths upto 118 in. (3000mm)can be achieved

Page 6.163
The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be attached either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a special guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly or canbe used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus® standard separator(Part No. 381) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with large diam-eter cables or hoses.
A locking separator (Part No. 383) is used in applications with very high relative humidity, such ascomposting plants. The increased retention force needed for these types of applications is pro-duced by asymmetrical retention “clamps” attached to the chain’s crossbar. If installing these your-self, please ensure that they are identically aligned.
The 381T separator is designed for Energy Tubes incorporating several separators. It clamps tothe inner radius and remains free along the outer radius to facilitate lid removal. Again, uniform align-ment of the separators is critical. The injection-molded part number can be used as an orientationguide.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are mostoften necessary with side-mounted applications.

Interior Separation: Series 380/390/R780 “E4/100”
Page 6.163
Option 2: shelvesEnergy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using the
various interior separation elements.Side plates, separators and shelves form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of vari-
ous widths can be arranged at 5 different heights in. 28 (7 mm) increments Design, Chapter 1for layout recommendations. If open, slotted separators are used, only the middle slot is availablefor shelves.

Slotted separators (Part No. 391) are usedfor complex subdivision. However, they cannotbe retrofitted in an existing interior separationsystem without removing the shelves first.
The open, slotted separator (Part No. 397)can be retrofitted into an existing interior sep-aration system without removing the shelves aslong as these shelves fit into any of the 3 mid-dle slots.

Guide troughs are used with applications wherethe upper run of the Energy Chain® glides on thelower run. If using igus® steel guide troughs, thefollowing components are required:
- Full travel length of guide troughPart No. 93-30
- 1/2 travel length of glide barsPart No. 93-01
- Installation sets as end connectorsPart No. 93-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail on whichthe guide trough is mounted. The values and partnumbers are specified in the table below. Thestandard length of the trough components andglide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m). The required overalllength of the guide trough directly correlates tothe length of travel
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mountedRequired guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough,82 ft (25 m) glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) guide trough
Part No. 93-30
= 13 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) glide bar
Part No. 93-01
Required number of installation sets: = Number of guide trough components + 1= 25 + 1 = 26Part No. of the installation sets 93-50-XXXExample: 93-50-400 for 15.75 (400 mm) long pro-file rail

Extension Link
The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using extensionlinks also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA or steel mounting brackets. We stronglyrecommend on-site consultation with an igus® technician for individual advice regarding mounting brack-ets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widths upto 118 in. (3000mm)can be achieved

Series 400/410/R880 “E4/100”
Page 6.163
The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be attached either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a special guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly or canbe used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus® Standard Sepa-
rator (Part No. 401) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, when used with large diam-eter cables or hoses.
For applications using a large number of small cables a separator with a narrow “foot” (Part No. 483) can be used.The separators 401 and 483 can be used both with the Series 400/410 Energy Chains® and R880 Energy Tubes.A locking separator (Part No. 404) with increased retention force is also available for chains only. This separator is used in appli-
cations with very high relative humidity, such as composting plants, or in applications subject to extreme loads. It is more difficult toopen the Energy Chain® when using a locking separator.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are most often necessary with side-mounted applications.

411
Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) perspacer (for example, if one spacer is placed on either side ofthe separator, the overall inner height is reduced by .16 (4 mm).To avoid this, place the spacers on the outside of the open-ing crossbar.
STANDARD
Other elements for interior separation:
Center crossbar The center crossbar was developed for applications in which a verylarge number of thin cables are laid in the chain, individually sep-arated. The center crossbar offers the option of subdividing theEnergy Chain® into upper and lower halves, with mutually inde-pendent separators. The center crossbar can be inserted into anychain width.Please consult igus® if your application requires a center crossbar.
Roller SeparatorThe roller separator performs a similar func-tion to the Rollclip, but doubles as a sepa-rator. Consult igus® if you have any ques-tions regarding the roller separator.
RollclipThe Rollclip has ben developed to minimize abrasion of particular-ly sensitive hoses or cables in an Energy Chain®. The Rollclip is sim-ply clamped onto the opening crossbar of the chain link. The inte-grated rollers compensate for relative movement between the chainand the hose or cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses orcables. Consult igus® if you have questions regarding the Rollclip.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. The standard separator(part No. 6001), offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with large diam-eter cables or hoses.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are mostoften necessary with side-mounted applications.

Series 600/601/R608 “E4/100”
The mounting brackets 6000-12 fit all Series 600, 601, R608.Depending on the chain length, the carrier will end with outer orinner side links. For the best appearance, make sure the chain endswith outer side links whenever possible.(An odd number of links will always end with outer side links, there-by requiring 2 sets of 6000-1.)

Series 640 “E4/100”
The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be attached either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a special guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly or canbe used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. The standard separator (Part No. 6401) offers safe stability
due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with large diameter cables or hoses.Separators can be used with both Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes.A locking separator (Part No. 6408) with higher retention force is also available for chains only.
This separator is used in applications subject to extreme loads.All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are
most often necessary with side-mounted applications. 4.41

Option 2: shelvesEnergy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using the
various interior separation elements.Side plates, separators and shelves form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of various
widths can be arranged at 13 different heights in .28 (7 mm) increments Design, Chapter 1 forlayout recommendations.

Other elements for interior separation:
RollclipThe Rollclip has ben developed to minimize abrasion of particular-ly sensitive hoses or cables in an Energy Chain®. The Rollclip is sim-ply clamped onto the opening crossbar of the chain link. The inte-grated rollers compensate for relative movement between the chainand the hose or cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses orcables. Consult igus® if you have questions regarding the Rollclip.

Series 640 “E4/100”
Guide troughs are used with applications wherethe upper run of the Energy Chain® glides on thelower run. If using igus® steel guide troughs, thefollowing components are required:
- Full travel length of guide troughPart No. 97-30
- 1/2 travel length glide barsPart No. 93-01
- Installation sets as end connectorsPart No. 97-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rails onwhich the guide trough is mounted. The valuesand part numbers are specified in the table onthe left. The standard length of the trough com-ponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m). The over-all length of the guide trough directly correlatesto the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center-mounted
Required guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough, 82 ft. (25 m)glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) guide trough
Part No. 97-30
= 13 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) glide bar
Part No. 93-01Required number of installation sets: = Number of guide trough components + 1= 25 + 1 = 26Part No. of the installation sets 97-50-XXXExample:97-50-400 for 15.75 (400 mm) long profile rail

Series 14040/14140/R18840 “E4 Light”
Extension Link
The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using extensionlinks also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA or steel mounting brackets. We stronglyrecommend on-site consultation with an igus® technician for individual advice regarding mounting brack-ets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widths upto 118 in. (3000mm)can be achieved

Series 14040/14140/R18840 “E4 Light”
Page 6.163
The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be attached either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a special guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly or canbe used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.
Consult igus® for your extender crossbar applications. We are happy to assist you with your design layout.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus® Standard Separa-
tor (Part No. 401) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, when used with large diametercables or hoses.
For applications using a large number of small cables a separator with a narrow “foot” (Part No. 483) can be used.The separators 401 and 483 can be used both with the Series 14040/14140 Energy Chains® and R188040 Energy Tubes.A locking separator (Part No. 404) with increased retention force is also available for chains only. This separator is used in
applications with very high relative humidity, such as composting plants, or in applications subject to extreme loads. It is moredifficult to open the Energy Chain® when using a locking separator.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are most often necessary withside-mounted applications.

Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) perspacer (for example, if one spacer is placed on either side ofthe separator, the overall inner height is reduced by .16 (4mm). To avoid this, place the spacers on the outside of theopening crossbar.
STANDARD
Other elements for interior separation:
Center crossbar The center crossbar was developed for applications in which a verylarge number of thin cables are laid in the chain, individually sep-arated. The center crossbar offers the option of subdividing theEnergy Chain® into upper and lower halves, with mutually inde-pendent separators. The center crossbar can be inserted into anychain width.Please consult igus® if your application requires a center crossbar.
Roller SeparatorThe roller separator performs a similar func-tion to the Rollclip, but doubles as a sepa-rator. Consult igus® if you have any ques-tions regarding the roller separator.
RollclipThe Rollclip has been developed to minimize abrasion of particu-larly sensitive hoses or cables in an Energy Chain®. The Rollclip issimply clamped onto the opening crossbar of the chain link. Theintegrated rollers compensate for relative movement between thechain and the hose or cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hosesor cables. Consult igus® if you have questions regarding the Roll-clip.

Extension Link
The extension link has been developed for applications in which particularly high fill weights necessi-tate extremely wide Energy Chains®. The extension link design allows virtually limitless side-by-sideattachment of chains. In addition, the unsupported length of a chain can be increased. Using extensionlinks also allows for additional fill weights.
Extension links can be used with Energy Chains®, Energy Tubes or a combination of chains and tubes.They are equally suitable for unsupported and gliding applications in a guide trough.
Energy Chains® with extension links are attached with KMA or steel mounting brackets. We stronglyrecommend on-site consultation with an igus technician for individual advice regarding mounting brack-ets, guide troughs and other design details.
Chain widths upto 118 (3000 mm)can be achieved

Series 15050/15150/R19850 “E4 Light”
Page 6.163
The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which large diameter hose or cable must be guided care-fully. It is intended for hoses or cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm.) The extender crossbar can be attachedalong either the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, the chain cannot glide on itselfin this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along outer radius and a special guide trough is required.The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side link directly or can be used in combination with two standard snap-opencrossbars.

Option 1: separatorsOption 1: separators
Separators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. The standard separator(Part No. 501) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with large diame-ter or hoses.
Vertical separators can be used with both Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes for the Series listedabove.
A locking separator (Part No. 504) with increased retention force is available for chains only. This separator is used with appli-cations subject to extreme loads.
The asymmetrical locking separator (Part No. 508) is used with applications involving high relative humidity, such as compost-ing plants. The clamp at the side serves to uniformly align the separators. In order to avoid destroying the separators when openingthe Energy Chain®, make sure all separators are identically aligned.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are most often necessary with side-mounted applications.
3.15
(80)
511 518 514 405-X
Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) perspacer (for example, if one spacer is placed on either sideof the separator, the overall inner height is reduced by .16(4 mm). To avoid this, place the spacers on the outside ofthe opening crossbar.
RollclipThe Rollclip has been developed to minimize abrasion of particularly sensitive hoses or cablesin an Energy Chain®. The Rollclip is simply clamped onto the opening crossbar of the chain link.The integrated rollers compensate for relative movement between the chain and the hose orcable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses or cables. Consult igus® if you have questionsregarding the Rollclip.

Series 15050/15150/R19850 “E4 Light”
Guide troughs are used with applications wherethe upper run of the Energy Chain® glides on thelower run. If using igus® steel guide troughs, thefollowing components are required:
- Full travel length of guide troughPart No. 99-30
- 1/2 travel length glide barsPart No. 93-01
- Installation sets as end connectorsPart No. 96-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rails onwhich the guide trough is mounted. The valuesand part numbers are specified in the table onthe left. The standard length of the trough com-ponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m). The over-all length of the guide trough directly correlatesto the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center-mounted
Required guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough, 82 ft. (25 m)glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) guide trough
Part No. 99-30
= 13 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) glide bar
Part No. 93-01Required number of installation set: = Number of guide trough components + 1= 25 + 1 = 26Part No. of the installation sets 96-50-XXXExample:96-50-400 for 15.75 (400 mm) long profile rail

The extender crossbars were developed specifically for applications in which a hose or large diameter cable must be guid-ed carefully. It is intended for hoses and cables with a maximum outer diameter of 11.81 (300 mm). The extender cross-bar can be attached either along the outer or inner radius. In most applications, the inner radius is preferred. However, thechain/tube cannot glide on itself in this case. If gliding operation is required, the crossbars are assembled along the outerradius and a special guide trough is required. The extender crossbar can either be attached to the side links directly or canbe used in combination with two standard snap-open crossbars.

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. The standard separa-
tor (Part No. 6401) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with largediameter cables or hoses.
Separators can be used with both Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes.A locking separator (Part No. 6408) with higher retention force is also available for chains
only. This separator is used in applications subject to extreme loads.All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are
most often necessary with side-mounted applications.

Option 2: shelvesEnergy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using the
various interior separation elements.Side plates, separators and shelves form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of various
widths can be arranged at 7 different heights in .28 (7 mm) increments Design, Chapter 1 forlayout recommendations.

Other elements for interior separation:
RollclipThe Rollclip has ben developed to minimize abrasion of particularly sensitive hoses or cablesin an Energy Chain®. The Rollclip is simply clamped onto the opening crossbar of the chainlink. The integrated rollers compensate for relative movement between the chain and the hoseor cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses or cables. Consult igus® if you have ques-tions regarding the Rollclip.

Series 1640/R1608 “E4/Light”
Guide troughs are used with applications wherethe upper run of the Energy Chain® glides on thelower run. If using igus® steel guide troughs, thefollowing components are required:
- Full travel length of guide troughPart No. 97-30
- 1/2 travel length glide barsPart No. 93-01
- Installation sets as end connectorsPart No. 97-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rails onwhich the guide trough is mounted. The valuesand part numbers are specified in the table onthe left. The standard length of the trough com-ponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m). The over-all length of the guide trough directly correlatesto the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center-mounted
Required guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough, 82 ft. (25 m)glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) guide trough
Part No. 97-30
= 13 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) glide bar
Part No. 93-01Required number of installation set: = Number of guide trough components + 1= 25 + 1 = 26Part No. of the installation sets 97-50-XXXExample:97-50-400 for 15.75 (400 mm) long profile rail

Option 1: separatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. igus® standardseparator (Part No. 407), offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design even whenused with large diameter cables or hoses. All separators are adjustable but may be fixedin place with spacers (chains only). Spacers are most often necessary with side-mount-ed applications.

Option 2: center crossbarThe center crossbar was developed for applications in which a very large number of thincables are laid in the chain, individually separated. The center crossbar offers the optionof subdividing the Energy Chain® into upper and lower halves, with mutually indepen-dent separators. The center crossbar can be inserted into any chain width. Please con-sult igus® if your application requires a center crossbar.
Hinged CrossbarsTypically, Energy Chain® crossbars are completely removable. In cases where it is preferrable that the opening crossbars remain on theEnergy Chain®, a hinged design has been developed.
4 hinged crossbar options are available.Please consult igus for design assistance.

Using Strain Relief Elements1. All electrical cables should be anchored on both ends of the Energy Chain® using Chainfix strain
relief elements
2. The position of the Chainfix Strain relief clamps, in relation to the cable feed-in point or themachine tow arm, is automatically specified by integration along with a profile C-Channel intothe KMA style Energy Chain® mounting bracket. In cases where KMA style mounting bracketsare not used, and the placement/position of Chainfix strain relief elements are located externalto the Energy Chain® mounting brackets, the gap between strain relief elements and the mount-ing brackets should be as short as possible. Where these gaps between strain relief elementsand mounting brackets are project specified and documented, strict adherence must be main-tained.
3. When installing the Chainfix strain relief elements into the profile C-Channel, be certain that the“toe” of the Chainfix strain relief element points away from the Energy Chain®.
4. All electrical cables should first be anchored to the machines tow arm with Chainfix strain reliefelements. Next move the machines tow arm to it’s mechanical end position in the traveldistance with the upper section of the Energy Chain® fully extended. At this point, proceed toanchor the electrical cables on the fixed end of the Energy Chain®. Make certain the cableshave freedom of longitudinal movement and are not pulled tightly on the Energy Chain’s innerradius crossbars. Also adhere to all project specified protocols and maintenance schedules.
5. Make certain all hardware used to fasten profile C-Channels and strain relief elements are tight-ened securely and cannot loosen during machine operation.
6. After cable installation according instruction 4 above, make certain a minimum of 2% or250mm of cable “slack” exists to one side of the Energy Chain® for possible future adjustmentpurposes. The most accessible Energy Chain® side (moving or fixed) during machine operationis the preferred location for this electrical cable “slack” length.
Mounting Brackets1. Energy Chain mounting brackets should be attached and oriented to the Energy Chain® in a way that
does not interfere or impinge with its movement along the traverse and back to the storage depotposition
2. Energy Chainr® mounting brackets should be fastened securely to the machines surface with theappropriate and designated amount of screws. As a rule, minimum two screws per bracket side.
3. Energy Chain® mounting brackets should fit closely and flush against the Energy Chain side linksbefore they are fastened to the machine’s mounting surface.
4. Energy Chain® mounting brackets should be fastened to the machine’s mounting surface so that theEnergy Chainr can move forward in the direction of the machines tow arm without interruption orjamming
1. Assemble parts todesired layout.
2. Open chain –remove crossbar.
3. Snap assemblyonto the crossbar.
4. Close chain –secure crossbar.
