Advantages of energy chains
Energy chains offer a number of advantages that improve both the efficiency and longevity of machines and systems. The most important advantages of energy chains are examined in more detail below.
Protection of pipes and hoses
Energy chains protect sensitive cables and hoses from external influences such as dirt, dust, and mechanical damage. The robust construction of the chains prevents the cables from being damaged by external influences. This is particularly important in harsh industrial environments, where mechanical stress and aggressive media could quickly damage the cables.
Routing of cables and hoses
A key advantage of energy chains is the orderly and secure routing of cables and hoses. The chains hold the cables and hoses in a fixed position and prevent them from becoming tangled or twisted. This ensures smooth movement of the cables and protects them from excessive strain and wear. Proper routing and installation is crucial for the reliable operation of the connected machines and devices.
Prevention of cable breaks and wear
The use of energy chains significantly reduces the risk of cable breaks and premature wear. The chains ensure that the cables are only bent within the intended range of motion, thus avoiding excessive bending and tensile stress. This contributes significantly to extending the service life of the cables and reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Reliability
Energy chains contribute to increasing the reliability of machines and systems. Protecting and neatly guiding cables minimizes the risk of unexpected failures. This is particularly important in critical applications where failures can lead to significant production downtime and financial losses. The reliability of energy chains ensures that machines run smoothly and without interruptions.
Easy installation and interchangeability (easy to maintain)
Energy chains are designed to be easy to install and replace when necessary. This makes maintenance and servicing of the systems straightforward and time-saving. The modular systems allow individual chain links or cables to be replaced quickly and easily without having to dismantle the entire chain. This reduces downtime and enables operations to be resumed quickly.
Reduction of noise emissions
Many energy chains are designed to operate with minimal noise. This is a significant advantage in environments where noise emissions must be minimized, such as in the food or medical industries. Low-noise energy chains contribute to a more pleasant working environment and can help ensure compliance with noise protection regulations.
Increased security
Energy chains contribute to overall safety in the workplace. The orderly routing and protection of cables reduces the risk of tripping hazards and accidents. In environments where cables could be lying around freely, energy chains offer a safe and tidy solution that helps to comply with safety standards.
Cross-industry applications
Energy chains are used in a wide range of industries, including mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, aerospace, medical technology, and many more. Their versatility and adaptability make them a valuable component in a wide variety of applications, from production lines and robot arms to medical devices.
