Gliding applications for long travels

What is meant by gliding applications?

With gliding applications, the upper run of the energy chain glides on the lower run or on a sliding surface of the corresponding guide trough. Gliding applications are used in applications with long travels - in other words, where the energy chain's unsupported length cannot be realised.

The diagram shows a gliding application, where the energy chain glides on a glide bar of the corresponding guide trough.

13 tips for a long-lasting energy supply system in "gliding" applications

Types of the gliding arrangements

One-sided gliding application

Schematic showing the function of an energy chain system on a gliding application. The fixed end of this application is located in the centre of the travel. With the centre infeed, you can achieve the minimum length of energy chains and the maximum travel of cables.

^ℹ In the energy chain configurator you can design centre or off-centre feed.

The chain length is calculated as follows:

L_k = ^S/₂ + K

Abbreviations	Meaning	Unit
L_k	Energy chain length	[mm]
^S/₂	Half length of travel	[mm]
K	Add-on for bend radius for calculating the e-chain length	[mm]
A	Guide trough with glide bar
B	Guide trough without glide bar
C	Total length of guide trough

Two reverse gliding applications

Configuration involving two reverse energy chains. The entire travel is measured as shown. For use when there are restricted spaces or high loads.

Abbreviations	Meaning	Unit
^S/₂	Half length of travel	[mm]
S	Travel	[mm]
R	Bend radius	[mm]
H2	Clearance height with lowered moving end	[mm]
K2	Add-on with lowered moving end	[mm]
H_RI	Trough inner height	[mm]
A	Total length of guide trough
