Series 1500 ESD

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 1500 ESD – chain, snap-open along outer radius

The E2/000 ESD series is igus® fourth generation in this size. All field experience has been incorporated into this series: easy and versatile assembly combined with ruggedness - high strength in combination with low-noise operation, long service life for cables and a broad range of mounting options. The design is consistent within all E2/000 models. It is the standard product trusted by machine builders around the world.

Available inner widths Bi: 15 to 80 mm
Available bend radii R: 38 to 145 mm
Pitch: 33,3 mm/link = 30 links/m

When to use Series 1500 ESD

If snap-open accessibility along the
inner or outer radius is required
If intergrated strain relief at the
mounting point is required
If half E-Tube is required
(Series 1450)
If long service life is required
If easy installation is required

When not to use Series 1500 ESD

For very simple applications
easy chain®, E14 series

Weight per link [oz.]:
Weight [lbs/ft]:
* The required clearance height is HF = H + .98 in. (25 mm) (with .34 lbs/ft (0.5 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.

Pitch per link: = 1.31” (33.3 mm)
Links per ft (m): = 9.14 (30)
For center mount applications:
Chain length = s/2 +K
A = moving end
B = fixed end

Unsupported length

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

The diagrams for unsupported lengths apply to standard e-chains® in igumid GLW material. The values can also be used for assessing e-chain® applications in ESD special material. If the respective maximum unsupported length exceeds 80%, the suitability of the e-chain® should be verified by a practice-oriented test.

"Super-aluminium" trough - the igus® standard for guide troughs

The "Super" aluminium trough is a modular system of guide troughs for long travels (where e-chains® are gliding on top of themselves). The basic "Super" aluminium trough has a simple and cost-efficient designs and can be expanded for sophisticated plant engineering. Its universal design makes it the recommended igus® standard for guide troughs.

Various mounting options with bracket, clamping shoe, interface connectors
Side-mounted glide strips for wear protection on high-speed applications
Corrosion resistant due to seawater-resistant aluminium
Flexible assembly - Fastening on substructure independent of profile lengths and butt joints
