Energy supply in all directions with the new e-spool standard from igus

Flat on the ground or in-depth or at lofty heights; with the e-spool, the slip-ring-free cable drum – igus offers an energy supply for different application scenarios. The compact, spring-driven system can safely guide energy, media or fibre optic data cables. To enable users to access the energy chain system even for longer lengths, igus has developed a new standard. Thanks to an optimised design, the e-spool can now extend cables and hoses, up to 21 metres without the need of a motor.

In stage technology, on oil platforms or in process cranes, the roll able e-spool is used wherever cables have to be moved safely and in the tightest of spaces. The compact energy chain system from igus, is an alternative to the classic cable drum, but with two major differences. The e-spool is the only solution that can carry not only energy, but also all media such as data, compressed air and liquids. Because, it connects two different energy supply systems in one. A standard e-chain, which is guided by a guide roller, always ensures with an integrated retaining spring, the correct length and tension of the e-chain system.

An igus twister band is responsible for the rotational movements. This special structure makes movements in every possible direction. Another difference:, the e-spool does not need an expensive slip ring. This means that the most diverse cables can be continuously connected in a confined space in a system, and also be replaced or added at any time. To help users to fall back on the practical energy chain solution for longer travels, igus has developed a new e-spool standard for 21 metres.
