Guiding Trough <strong>Installation</strong><br />
Prepare a spacer tool, to adjust the inner trough width.<br />
E-Chain ® outer width = Ba<br />
No gap = wrong!<br />
Ba<br />
No gap = wear on chain links. E-Chain ® is blocked.<br />

E-Chain ® Pre-Assembly<br />
Check part no. on E-Chain ® , before assembly.<br />
For example: 5050C- 4040C- Series<br />
Chain s number 5050C.30.300.0<br />
5050C Series Number<br />
30 Width<br />

E-Chain ® assembly<br />
Lay the fixed point (part 3) into the trough and assemble part 2<br />
until you reach the mounting end.<br />
part 3 part 2 part 1<br />
Fixed point (KMA+ 11.Links)<br />
E-Chain ® parts (11links each)<br />

E-Chain ® Pre-Assembly<br />
Make sure that fixed point position is according to igus ®<br />
drawings, relative to the travel stroke.<br />
Lay thee preassembled E-Chain ® into the guiding tough.<br />

Pull Cables Into E-Chain ®<br />
Cable arrangement has to be according to igus ® interior<br />

Alternative instalation:<br />
Open the crossbars, lay the cables in the E-Chain ® and close it.<br />
Check the interior separation of E-Chain ® .<br />
All seperators plumb and tight?<br />

Attach E-Chain ®<br />
Level Moving End<br />
Leave a spare cable loop for cable adjustment at fixed point<br />
and moving end.<br />
Moving end has to be installed<br />
according to system drawing.<br />
Support plate has to be in level!<br />
Height according to drawing.<br />
max. 3mm<br />
Spare cable min 0,5m<br />

Installl Moving End<br />
Adjust Cables<br />
Flip chain radius, move it to the moving arm and fix it with<br />
allan screws (DIN 912 / EN ISO 7462).<br />
Correct cable adjustment<br />
Cable has to run slightly outside the centerline<br />

Install Strain Relief<br />
Check <strong>Installation</strong> Before First Movement<br />
Install strain relief clambs at moving end and fixed point.<br />
Swing strain relief clamps in the c-rail and<br />
theighten the screw.<br />
All screws in place and fixed<br />
with toque spanner<br />
Moving end height and<br />
E-Chain ® fixation OK?<br />
Any obstacles /<br />
tools in the guiding trough?<br />
All strain relief clamps<br />
installed<br />
Check height<br />
wrong!<br />
Cable arrangement OK?<br />
Move the E-Chain ® slow and carefull to both<br />
end positions and check cable arrangement.<br />
Doublecheck after a few test cycles.<br />
