Series 4140, Energy chain® with crossbars every second link.

Option 1: Vertical separators and spacers
Vertical separators are used if a vertical subdivision of the Energy Chain® interior is required. By standard, vertical separators are assembled every other Energy Chain® link.
NOTE:
Observe a lateral spacing of at least 1.30 in. (33mm) for Energy Tubes and .63 in. (16mm) for Energy Chain®. There is no minimum spacing needed for side plates

Standard separator 401 for Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes
This separator offers safe stability due to its wide base design, also when used with thick cables or hoses.

Vertical separator 483 for Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes
This separator offers a narrow base for applications where a large number of small cables need to be individually separated.

Locking separator 404 for Energy Chains®
This separator features increased retention force for applications exposed to very high humidity and extreme loads. The extra retention force is achieved by asymmetric claws for the crossbar. Take care to ensure proper alignment.

Asymmetrical separator 401A for Energy Chains®
This separator features an (18mm) base. It can be used in combinations between spacers of different widths and vertical separators in side mounted applications.

NOTE ON SPACERS
Vertical separators are adjustable, but can be fixed in position by means of a spacer. Spacers are most often necessary for side mounted applications. The available inner height is reduced by .08” (2mm) per spacer (for example if one spacer is placed on either side of the separator, the overall inner height is reduced by .16” (4mm). To avoid this, place the spacers on the outside of the opening crossbar (not for long travels).

Rollclip- minimizes abrasion of particularly sensitive hoses or cables in an Energy Chain®. The integrated rollers compensate for relative movement between the chain and the hose or cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses or cables

Roller separator- performs a similar function to the Rollclip, but doubles as a separator. Consult igus® if you have any questions regarding the roller separator.

Option 2: Shelves
Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using the various interior separation elements.

Side plates 402
This component is used to form the basic pattern of a shelf system.

Vertical separator 403
This component is used to form the basic pattern of a shelf system.

Locking vertical separator 410
This separator is slotted and able to be combined with shelves. For Energy Chains® only.

Slotted separators 408
These are used for very complex subdivisions. However, they cannot be retrofitted into an existing separation system without removing the shelves first.

Slotted separator 409
This separator can be retrofitted into an existing interior separation system without removing the shelves, as long as these shelves fit into any of the 3 middle slots

Shelves 420-XX
These components form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of various widths can be arranged at 7 different heights in .28” (7mm) increments

Rollclip- minimizes abrasion of particularly sensitive hoses or cables in an Energy Chain®. The integrated rollers compensate for relative movement between the chain and the hose or cable. This reduces the abrasion of the hoses or cables

Roller separator- performs a similar function to the Rollclip, but doubles as a separator. Consult igus® if you have any questions regarding the roller separator.

Center crossbar- developed for applications involving a very large number of thin cables, individually separated. This offers the option of subdividing the Energy Chain® into upper and lower halves, with mutually independent separators.
