36 37 igus® Guide Troughs Guide troughs are used for long travels from 5 to 10 m and more, depending on the chain type. They allow igus® Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes to continue smooth, low-friction operation in these long-travel situations. If the Energy Chains®/Tubes are installed in the centre of the travel („centremounted“), they glide on themselves for half the travel. For the other half, we recommend glide bars, which are assembled in the trough and on which the Energy Chains®/Tubes glide. igus® guide troughs are available from stock with these highly abrasion-resistant polymer glide bars, which perform well with igus® Energy Chains® and Tubes regarding noise, abrasion and friction. Type of Trough igus® provides guide troughs made of l Aluminum (sea water resistant according to DIN) l Stainless steel (1.4301 + 1.4571) l Steel (zinc plated) Troughs assembling If the igus® installation sets are used, the guide troughs are particularly easy to assemble. All the troughs are constructed according to the same basic principle. All sizes use a common C-profile on which the guide parts are assembled. The assembly brackets used vary in height only. Trough without glide bars – Chain glides on chain Trough with glide bars – Chain glides on glide bars Centre mounted – 1/2 Travel with glide bars – 1/2 Travel without glide bars HD-Installation set For heavy applications: HD-Installation set for joint and attachment surface connections secure connection without misalignment and without welding New fixed end module for steel troughs Until now, the steel trough had to be modified on site to fit the mounting brackets at the stationary end of the E-Chain®. That is now history. With its prefabricated boreholes, the 2.000 mm long kit can be used for middle-feed, end-feed and opposed installation. l Fast fixation of mounting brackets thanks to prefabricated boreholes l Fast installation of C-rails for strain relief l Fast bolting of glide bars l Available immediately for series 4040/5050, all other series on request S S/2 S/2 D2 R K2 1/2 Travel length with glide bar Length Guide Trough Number installation sets = Number guiding trough parts 1/2 Travel length without glide bar Moving End Fixed End Super Alu Guide Trough – Crane version It is possible to extend the Super Alu Guide Trough for the demanding plant sector to a heavy duty version. This trough has got stronger installation brackets and also additional parts like glide pads for protection of wear and friction and silencer profiles to reduce the noise level of the roll of the E-Chain®. Modular Trough System l Tool box with basic version and add-on items for upgrading to heavy duty industrial applications l Very quick and easy, universal and flexible assembly – connects with underground, independent from profile length and location of trough section interfaces l Various fixation methods with installation brackets, slide-on fasteners and interface connectors l Wear protective, side-mount glide bars for high speed applications l Corrosion proof through seawater resistance l Available for most igus® E-Chain® series Typical Crane applications: RTG’s, RMG’s, Indoor Cranes, ... Schematic operating mode of an E-ChainSystem® for long travel application with centre-mount configuration. (Fixed end in the middle of the travel length) Super Alu Guide Trough – installed on a RTG-application Typical Crane applications: STS, Goliath Cranes, RMG’s, Bulk handling Cranes, ... New fixed end module for Aluminum SuperTrough A quick fix for mounting the stationary end of an E-Chain®, now also available for the Super AluminumTrough. With this new module for the fixed end, fast and easy mounting onto the Super AluminumTrough is now possible without any drilling. l Fast mounting of the E-Chain® by clamping onto the aluminum trough l Quick relocation of the stationary end l No drilling necessary A light version of long travel guides in aluminium order related www-igus-cranes.com/troughs 24 h or today www-igus-cranes.com/troughs Safe guide for E-Chains® on long travels...stainless steel guide troughs SuperAlu trough
