autoglide 5 - Energy and data transmission installed in one hour
Cost-effective e-chain for intralogistics and high bay crane systems with 88% lower assembly time
autoglide 5 transmits energy, data, fluids and air in one system safely and almost maintenance-free at a cost-effective price, including e-chain® 2400.07AG.075.0, steel cable guide, bus cable assembly and 5 individual wires of 6 mm² each. The metal rope included in delivery is stretched across the floor. Alternatively, guidance via a plastic rope or a profile is also possible.
The e-chain can travel safely on the rope. The underside of the chain links has a guide element in the middle, so that the energy chain can rest safely on the rope. autoglide elements ensure wear-resistant and precise rolling of the upper run of the chain.
Autoglide 5 is an energy supply system designed for long travel applications such as high bay cranes, stacker cranes and automated warehouse systems.

- To recycle integrated energy chain through the igus chainge program free of charge
Advantages of autoglide 5
Until now, many industries have relied on busbar systems for power and data transmission in tight spaces and high-speed applications. While these systems are simple and cost-effective, they require frequent cleaning and maintenance to prevent contact faults and usually only transmit energy.
In high bay crane and stacker crane applications, autoglide ensures low-friction guidance and reliable energy supply over long travel distances.
autoglide 5 provides a new solution with the following benefits:
- Can easily be installed in the aisle on a rope or a profile
- Cost-effective
- 88% shorter assembly time compared to aluminium troughs
- Long-lasting, maintenance-free and easy to clean
- Energy, data, air and liquids in ONE system
- 4m/s speed and 80m travel
- Quiet operation: 63db(A) at 2m/s
- Hall floor remains free, no guide trough needed
- Available as a harnessed system with cables, hoses and connectors

Applications with autoglide
Frequently asked questions FAQ
The basis is the 2400 with a width of 77 mm and a bend radius of 75 mm. Other widths and radii are of course also possible.
As with all e-chain®, we are aiming for 10 million cycles or 10,000 km. The tests in our laboratory for a guaranteed statement are still ongoing.
Yes, because the special crossbars are simply unfolded. Should they ever wear out, they can be easily replaced.
We are currently testing the use of a plastic rope.
