Energy chains
EKD Systems is manufacturer of energy chains since 1970. From the founding product energy pipe is formed today a wide range of energy chains and energy chain systems, which provides the standard of energy chains in steel and plastic up to plug in speciality products and tailormade solutions with cables, connectors and mounting kits for every application. The service spectrum ranges from the selection and design of appropriate energy chains, electrical and hose lining to final assembly and commissioning on site.
For most applications energy chains made of plastic is your first choice. Chemical resistance, light weight and low costs
are the major advantages. Steel chains are used under extreme payloads and high mechanical or other particular
requirements. For extreme cycles the hardened (carburized) steel is required to achieve long life.
Kolibri - Plastic standard chain
The Kolibri is the inexpensive energy chain for light weight applications. Due to the integrated plastic connector additional mounting parts are not needed.
applications: robots, handling technology, materials handling, paper machinery, textile machinery etc.
PKK - Plastic combi chain
The PKK combines all the advantages of energy chains to one system: The PKK can be shortened and lengthened without tools, opened, extended and closed.
applications for robots, in handling technology, in tools and textile machines etc ..
PLE - Plastic link
The PLE with aluminium stays is cheaper and lighter than the steel chain. In sliding applications the chain can be successively used in strokes up to 100 m.
machine tools, handling equipment, handling and lifting, etc
SLE - Steel link chain
The SLE is available in steel, stainless steel and in hardened version. It can be supplied with hole stays (SLE and SLA), foam stays (SLS) and plastic dividers (SLP) and tube stays (SLR).
Industrial applications include machine tools, mills, special machines, wood machinery, and much more.
GKA - Steel link chain „Large chain“
The GKA is used for large quantities of cables and hoses with large external diameters, as well as self-supporting lengths up to 18 m. The chain is also available in stainless steel quality V4A as well as in special versions.
applications: mills, offshore, large machine tools and so on
SFK - Steel tube
The closed steel shell of SFK offers cables and hoses good protection against hot chips, welding spatter and sparks.
The SFK is prooved in short travel distances and at low stroke rates in machine tools, special purpose machines and many other applications.
PFR - Plastic tube
The PFR is suitable for short travels. Due to the closed design, a good optical effect is achieved. The tube is easy to shorten and lengthen.
The metal coated tube is optimally for use in the field of hot chips, weld spatter or sparks.
applications: machine tools, welding machines, metal processing, etc.
