System E6
The abrasion resistant connector strips have replaced the common pin bore
connection. Therefore the E6 is suitable for cleanroom applications, tested
through the IPA Fraunhofer institute, ISO Class III*. The special design of the
chain links and the small pitches are responsible for the low-noise operation of
the System E6. A test of the TÜV Rheinland in May 2002 came to the result of
46dB(A)** at a minimum noise pressure level of 10dB(A) caused by exterior
noise. Another advantage of the connector strips is that they can guarantee a
long-term conductivity, if electric conductive special material is used (igumid
ESD on demand). But we already got the following result for the System E6
made of the common material igumid G: ESD- compatibility LEVEL 1 acc. SEMI
E78-0998 for Series E6-29-050-055-0
* Acc. DIN EN ISO 14644-1 for Series E6-29-050-055-0

Guide Troughs
Guide troughs are used with applications where the upper run ofthe Energy Chain® glides on the lower run. If using igus® steelguide troughs, the following components are required:
Full travel length of guide troughPart Number 92-301/2 travel length of glide bars
Part Number 92-01Installation sets as end connectors
Part Number 92-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail on which the guidetrough is mounted. The values and part numbers are specified inthe table on the left. The standard length of the troughcomponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m.) The required overalllength of the guide trough directly correlates to the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mountedRequired guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough82 ft (25 m) glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft

Guide Troughs
Guide troughs are used with applications where the upper run ofthe Energy Chain® glides on the lower run. If using igus® steelguide troughs, the following components are required:
Full travel length of guide troughPart Number 98-301/2 travel length of glide bars
Part Number 92-01Installation sets as end connectors
Part Number 93-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail on which the guidetrough is mounted. The values and part numbers are specified inthe table on the left. The standard length of the troughcomponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m.) The required overalllength of the guide trough directly correlates to the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mountedRequired guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough82 ft (25 m) glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft
(2 m) guide trough
Part No. 98-30
= 13 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) glide bar
Part No. 92-01
Required number of installation sets:
= Number of guide trough components + 1= 25 + 1 = 26Part number of the installation sets
Example: 93-50-400 for 15.75” (400 mm) long profile rail.

Guide Troughs
Guide troughs are used with applications where the upper run ofthe Energy Chain® glides on the lower run. If using igus® steelguide troughs, the following components are required:
Full travel length of guide troughPart Number 93-301/2 travel length of glide bars
Part Number 93-01Installation sets as end connectors
Part Number 93-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail on which the guidetrough is mounted. The values and part numbers are specified inthe table on the left. The standard length of the troughcomponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m.) The required overalllength of the guide trough directly correlates to the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mountedRequired guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough82 ft (25 m) glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft

Guide Troughs
Guide troughs are used with applications wherethe upper run of the Energy Chain® glides onthe lower run. If using igus® steel guide troughs,the following components are required:
Full travel length of guide troughPart Number 94-301/2 travel length of glide bars
Part Number 93-01Installation sets as end connectors
Part Number 94-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail onwhich the guide trough is mounted. The valuesand part numbers are specified in the table onthe left. The standard length of the trough com-ponents and glide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m.) Therequired overall length of the guide troughdirectly correlates to the length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mountedRequired guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough82 ft (25 m) glide bar
= 25 sections of 6.56 ft
(2 m) guide trough
Part No. 94-30
= 13 sections of 6.56 ft (2 m) glide bar
Part No. 93-01
Required number of installation sets:
= Number of guide trough components + 1= 25 + 1 = 26Part number of the installation sets
Example: 94-50-400 for 15.75” (400 mm) longprofile rail.

Option 1: SeparatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. The standard separa-
tor (Part No. 501) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with largediameter or hoses.
Vertical separators can be used with both Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes for the Series list-ed above.
A locking separator (Part No. 504) with increased retention force is available for chains only.This separator is used with applications subject to extreme loads.
The asymmetrical locking separator (Part No. 501A) is used with applications involving highrelative humidity, such as composting plants. The clamp at the side serves to uniformly align the sep-arators. In order to avoid destroying the separators when opening the Energy Chain®, make sure allseparators are identically aligned.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers aremost often necessary with side-mounted applications.
All options of the interior sepa-ration are also used for Series:
5050/5150/R9850
50/51/R98
Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) per spacer (forexample, if one spacer is placed on either side of the separator, theoverall inner height is reduced by .16 (4 mm). To avoid this, place thespacers on the outside of the opening crossbar.

Option 2: ShelvesEnergy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using
the various interior separation elements.Side plates, separators and shelves form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of var-
ious widths can be arranged at 11 different heights at .28 (7mm) increments Design, Chap-ter 1 for layout recommendations. If the open slotted separators are used, only the 7 middleslots are available for shelves.

Guide TroughsGuide troughs are used with applications wherethe upper run of the Energy Chain® glides on thelower run. If using igus® steel guide troughs, thefollowing components are required:
Full travel length of guide troughPart Number 99-301/2 travel length of glide bars
Part Number 93-01Installation sets as end connectors
Part Number 96-50-XX
-XX indicates the length of the profile rail on whichthe guide trough is mounted. The values and partnumbers are specified in the table on the left. Thestandard length of the trough components andglide bars is 6.56 ft (2 m.) The required overalllength of the guide trough directly correlates tothe length of travel.
Example: Length of travel 164 ft (50 m)Center mountedRequired guide troughs:164 ft (50 m) guide trough82 ft (25 m) glide bar

Option 1: SeparatorsSeparators can be placed at any point along the chain’s cross-section. The standard separa-
tor (Part No. 501) offers safe stability due to its broad “foot” design, even when used with largediameter or hoses.
Vertical separators can be used with both Energy Chains® and Energy Tubes for the Series list-ed above.
A locking separator (Part No. 504) with increased retention force is available for chains only.This separator is used with applications subject to extreme loads.
The asymmetrical locking separator (Part No. 501A) is used with applications involving highrelative humidity, such as composting plants. The clamp at the side serves to uniformly align the sep-arators. In order to avoid destroying the separators when opening the Energy Chain®, make sure allseparators are identically aligned.
All separators are adjustable, but may be fixed in place with spacers (chains only). Spacers aremost often necessary with side-mounted applications.
All options of the interior sepa-ration are also used for Series:
5050/5150/R9850
50/51/R98
Note:The available inner height is decreased by .08 (2 mm) per spacer (forexample, if one spacer is placed on either side of the separator, theoverall inner height is reduced by .16 (4 mm). To avoid this, place thespacers on the outside of the opening crossbar.

Option 2: ShelvesEnergy Chains® and Energy Tubes can be subdivided both vertically and horizontally using
the various interior separation elements.Side plates, separators and shelves form the basic pattern of a shelf system. Shelves of var-
ious widths can be arranged at 11 different heights at .28 (7mm) increments Design, Chap-ter 1 for layout recommendations. If the open slotted separators are used, only the 7 middleslots are available for shelves.
