igus

The world’s largest offshore cable chain

The rugged E4.350 offshore cable chain is designed to carry thick, heavy and stiff cables and hoses. Its oil-resistant feature makes it ideal for use on oil platforms in steel plants or in heavy-duty machinery. This quiet cable management system can manage heavy fill weights of up to 600kg per metre. It is totally lubrication free, therefore doesn’t require any maintenance. Due to the modular nature of igus’ e-chains, the E4.350 can be lengthened or shortened to suit. If required, interior cable and hose separators can be supplied.

chainflex highly flexible cables

Reliable dynamic cables for use in energy chains in the offshore industry must not only be able to withstand harsh environmental elements but also the dynamics of moving applications. igus’ chainflex range of cables are designed to cope with these demands, and we have more than 950 different types in stock for selection. Their internal wire elements are bundled with shorter pitch lengths around the centre core rather than in layers and a highly abrasion-resistant, gusset-filled inner and outer jacket are used, eliminating any fraying and breakages to the copper wires.

In some chainflex cable types, further protection is offered by incorporating a shield with optimised braiding angle around the extruded inner jacket to provide torsion protection and prevent any internal and external interference, which normally occurs in dynamic applications during the constant bending process.

Ready to install pre-harnessed energy chains and cables

igus understands how time-consuming harnessing cables can be in large cable management systems and, as a result, offers a pre-harnessed solution that can be ready to install directly to your machine in as little as three to ten working days. By using the readychain® service assembly, turnaround time is reduced by 50%, storage costs for cables, connectors and energy chains is eliminated and everything can be ordered and supplied by one single source.

100% lubrication-free plastic bearings

igus offers a comprehensive range of heavy-duty plain bearings, slewing rings and linear bearing systems that do not require any grease and eliminate maintenance downtime. These products are suitable for use in areas that are under extreme mechanical stress and subject to aggressive media. Again, all bearing products from igus are modular and easy to install and come with the igus lifetime guarantee.
