| LeviChain magnetic Energy Chain System  New LeviChain from Igus is a magnetic Energy Chain System in which the cable carrier operates suspended in a magnetic force field to virtually eliminate abrasion and noise. LeviChain is well-suited for clean rooms, medical engineering, measurement engineering, painting plants, industrial robots, electronics, material handling and linear motors. Iron content is integrated into the Energy Chain which is placed between two attracting magnetic rails. The magnets pull on the iron in the cable carrier causing it to float within the field of attraction. LeviChain is also an Igus E-Z Chain designed with a split crossbar for the fastest possible installation or removal of cables and hoses-without any tools.Press the conduit into the carrier to install and pull straight up to remove. The magnetic field will not produce any inductive influence on power or bus cables making LeviChain safe for use with all cable types. LeviChain resists the force of gravity and incurs no vibration because it is held in a constant state of tension. Both the upper run and the lower run can operate unsupported and never touch one another, therefore the usual sliding friction and related abrasion are eliminated and the wear rate is significantly lowered. LeviChain always moves inside the magnetic field prohibiting the emission of any unreeling or gliding noise. It is virtually silent with 41.7 dB at a distance of one yard. The upper run of LeviChain is always suspended in the magnetic field, but the lower run can be either suspended or placed on supports, depending on the application. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
