Series E26 - Chain to be filled along the outer radius

1. Torsional movements possible
2. Large pins - long service life
3. Cable-friendly interior
4. Mounting bracket with integrated strain relief option
5. Version E, filled along outer radius
6. Version Z, filled along inner radius
7. Dirt-repellent outer contours
8. Very easy to fill
9. Available with 1, 2 or 3-chamber system (permanently injection-moulded multiple chamber system for cable separation)
Series E26.2 )
Series E26.3
10. "Pushbutton design" holds links together

Available inner widths:1x75 mm
Available bend radii R: 63 to 250 mm
Pitch: 56 mm / link = 18 links/m

Series E26 is suitable for the following types of applications:

Vertical:hanging applications, standing applications
Horizontal: unsupported applications ≤ 2 m
rotary: rotating applications may be possible, please contact us

When to use Series E26

If a medium-sized e-chain® with a 36,5 mm inner height is required
For inner widths up to 75 mm
For unsupported lengths up to 2,0 m and fill weights up to 4,0 kg/m
When easy filling without opening and closing of lids is required
If quiet running is required.
If a light and cost-efficient e-chain® is required

When not to use Series E26

For applications with particularly high loads and large unsupported lengths
Series 3400/3450/3480/3500 E2/000
If secure closing of the opening crossbars is required
Series 3400/3450/3480/3500 E2/000

* The required clearance height is HF = H + 35 mm (with 2 kg/m fill weight), this should be taken into account for all application types. Please contact us if you have particularly narrow space conditions.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

Unsupported length

Unsupported length versus 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
