Product seeks application: many more projects and ideas
The e-loop
®
is currently available in various versions and three
outer diameters: 8.66", 11.81", and 16.93" (220, 300, and 430mm).
The largest variant, with a diameter of 16.93" (430mm), was added
to the two existing series on the basis of a customer application.
Besides the implemented or designed applications presented here,
there are many other ideas for using the e-loop
®
as an energy and
data supply system outdoors and under adverse conditions.
For igus
®
, the e-loop
®
example shows that it's worthwhile to carry
out intensive development work, even for niche markets. If the
design is mature and the product proves itself, additional areas of
application can be opened up. With the e-loop
®
, the new series
could establish itself as the standard solution for heavy-duty
applications in the broad e-chain system
®
product range from igus
®
.
This is not surprising because deep drilling rigs are not the only
systems that need their energy supply to be extremely resistant
to wind, shocks, impacts, and tensile forces. The basic e-loop
®
design–cable guide as strain relief, robust chain that can move in
multiple dimensions, bolted chain links and protectors on the outer
jacket–fits this application profile and is therefore suitable for a wide
variety of areas of use.

CFSPECIAL cables with large cross-
sections (up to 400mm²) for the e-loop
