igus: How to Install E-Chains – The Full Breakdown Engineers & Assemblers Actually Need
This article discusses the two most common horizontal assemblies/ installations for e-chains: both horizontal unsupported and horizontal long gliding. For both horizontal unsupported and horizontal long gliding applications, the first step is the same: assembly. The next step after assembly is to add the strain relief to the system and then run the system a few times to ensure the cables maintain their location. Note that strain relief must be applied to both ends of the chain to prevent cables from twisting or corkscrewing. The cables must be centered, not pulled or pushed against the inner or outer radius. After running the system a few times, you can fine tune the strain relief as per the following diagram.
