Electrically conductive energy chains from igus

There are approximately 280 ESD/ATEX chain versions readily available, including a selection of smaller 'zipper', medium E2/000 and heavy duty E4.1 and E4/light energy chains, which constantly discharge electrostatic build up in a controlled way. The igumid ESD material is conductive right through the chain and has been designed for applications where any electrostatic discharges are potentially damaging, for example the manufacturing or handling of sensitive electronic products and component parts. Available from stock within 24 hours, the energy chains are certified according to the EX II 2 GD classifications with ATEX (ATmosphère EXplosible) guidelines for 94/9 EG for devices and systems in potentially explosive areas. This means they can be used safely in areas where gas or dust may cause the risk of explosion. Before delivery, each energy chain is tested for 100% electric conductivity and given a compliance marking. It is also moulded in a different colour, grey instead of the standard black, for security when identifying the special parts.
