Series E2.26

Here you can configure your Energy Chain System® individually. All entries will be copied to the Bill of Materials shown at the bottom of this page.

Series E2.26 - e-chain, crossbars openable along the outer radius, from both sides

1. Universal connection: various mounting options with and without strain relief
2. Easy openable: Openable along the inner or outer radius from the side or from above
3. Cable-friendly: very smooth contours ensure the longest cable life
4. More cost-effective: E2.1 is lighter and offers more inner height with the same outer dimensions as the E2/000
5. Silent operation: optimised, integrated "brake" reduces noise
6. Long service life: due to integrated gliding surfaces even on long travels/gliding applications

Series E2.26 is suitable for the following types of applications:

Vertical: hanging applications ≤ 40 m, standing applications ≤ 3.0 m
Horizontal unsupported applications ≤ 4.25 m, applications unsupported on the side ≤ 1.0 m, gliding applications ≤ 100 m

When to use Series E2.1

More useable interior space with inner heights of 26, 38 and 48mm while the outer height is the same as the E2/000 e-chains®
Easy to open – e-chains® openable along the inner or outer radius (from the side or from above)
Greater strength for unsupported lengths
Longer service life for gliding applications
Integrated grid structure for interior separation with narrow grid structure of 2.5 mm
Cable-friendly due to smooth interior
Silent operation due to integrated brake
Complete interior separation range

When to use another series

When a light, cost-effective e-chain®/e-tube with higher dynamics is desired
E4.1L
When even higher stability is required
E4.1L
For very simple applications with fast filling
easy chain®

* The required clearance height is HF = H + 25 mm (with 1.5 kg/m fill weight), this should be taken into account for all application types. Please contact us if you have particularly confined space requirements.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

Unsupported length

The unsupported length depends on fill weight
X axis: Unsupported length in m FLB/FLG
Y axis: Fill weight in kg/m
Lower scale: Travel S in m
FLB = Unsupported with permissible sag
FLG = Unsupported with straight upper run

Option 1 - Separators Separators can be placed anywhere in the chain's cross-section as interior separation for the e-chain® - As standard, separators should be fitted every 2nd chain link!

E2.26.2 - Wide on one side for high holding force, narrow on opposite side for easy cable fitting.

E2.26.5 - Notch separator with integrated grid structure for exact positioning. Recommended for side-mounted applications.

2300.X Horizontal interior separation
Locks securely into separators at both ends, giving a fixed width. Can be used as full-width shelf for integrated interior separation or as partial shelf for modular shelving.
