autoglide 5 – Energy and data transmission installed in one hour
The igus® autoglide 5 system transfers energy, data, fluids and air safely in a single system. It requires almost no maintenance and is very cost-effective. It includes a 2400.07AG.075.0 e-chain®, steel cable guide, harnessed bus cable with five single cores of 6mm² each.
How does it work?
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.

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.
