Series 51

DISCONTINUED MODEL
For new designs, we recommend the improved e-chain® series H4.80 from the igus® E4.1 modular system.
+25% more unsupported length, higher strength and tensile strength, same dimensions and connection dimensions

Series 51 is available from stock in limited numbers. Product support and storage are limited as of 2012. For questions, please refer to your igus® contact person. Thank you for your understanding
to the H4.80 series

Here you can configure your e-chain system® individually. All entries and changes are taking over to the part list which is situated at the end of the page.

Series 51 - chain, with crossbars every 2nd link

1. KMA - mounting brackets
2. Fixed/pivoting mounting brackets available
3. R98: Lid can be opened and removed
4. R98: Shelves can be removed
5. Tube and chain can be combined
6. Strain relief elements can be integrated
7. 50/51: Crossbars removable from both sides

Available inner widths Bi: 50 to 600 mm
Available bend radii R: 150 to 1000 mm
Pitch: 91mm/link = 11 links/m

When to use Series 51

If you desire a simple system that has been proving its worth for years

When not to use Series 51

If large unsupported lengths are required for side-mounted uses
Series 5150
When an easier and less expensive solution is required
Series 15150

* The required clearance height is HF = H + 60 mm (at 3 kg/m fill weight), which should be observed in all types of applications. Please contact us if you have particularly confined space requirements.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

A=moving end, B=fixed end
Pitch: 91mm per link
Chain links per m: 11
Travel: S
Chain length = S/2 + K

Unsupported length

The unsupported length depends on fill weight
X axis: unsupported length in m FLB/FLG
Y axis: fill weight in kg/m
Lower scale: travel S in m
FLB = unsupported with permissible sag
FLG = unsupported with straight upper run
