Igus cable chain systems are increasingly used in automobiles.
The increasing electrification of cars has resulted in a steady increase in the demand for e-chains capable of guiding the cables safely while protecting them. The igus polymer specialist is committed to addressing all the challenges of automotive energy management, including customized solutions in addition to its standard line of lightweight cable chains.
The demands placed on energy guidance solutions are becoming increasingly complex, whether in passenger cars, utility vehicles or special vehicles, due to the constant increase in the number of cables, which are movement. To protect them in a sustainable way and thus to optimize their lifetime, the automobile increasingly uses cable chain systems.
Applications range from seat adjustment to sliding doors and trunk doors through the adjustment of headlamps or power supply to navigation systems. They have one thing in common, though. Energy guidance must be provided in a very restricted space and a fault must be avoided at all costs.
Indeed, the exchange of chains and / or cables is often accompanied by complex and expensive assembly tasks due, for example, to the removal of parts of the coating.
"For years, igus has a strong presence in the automotive industry worldwide with its polymer plain bearings and is ISO / TS 16949: 2009 certified. This is proof of our competence in this field, "says Benoît Dos Santos, Director of Automotive Cable Car Sales at igus. "The large number of cables in the car must be durable, even in motion.
In order to guarantee this functioning, we offer cable chains and cables well suited to each other as well as advice provided by experts in energy guidance in automobiles. The most suitable systems for cable chains are compact and lightweight systems such as the easy to open and close E2 micro chain, or the E1 chain in one piece, a type of belt that is easy to shorten and lengthen.
"We want to find an optimal solution for each customer and propose tailor-made solutions developed in cooperation with him in case the standard range is not enough," says Benoît Dos Santos. In concrete terms, this means adapting the chain types, sizes, separators and radii of curvature, or even sometimes making special injection molds.
Special solutions for use in constant motion are also developed and tested in the Cologne test laboratory, which covers an area of ??1,750 square meters.
Safe operation and simple assembly The igus cable chains make the cables easy to assemble, thanks to practical fastening elements and clamps. Their easy opening makes it possible to insert cables without difficulty. The cable chains protect the cables from possible damage.
Indeed, the cable chains prevent the cables from being torn or bent inadvertently. With igus, the guidance of energy in automobiles is not only safe, it is also simple.
