An energy chain device includes at least one energy chain for guiding lines, cables, hoses or the like between a fixed and a movable connection region so as to form a curved region between a moved strand and a stationary strand. Each energy chain has a number of links which are connected to one another in a flexible manner and are formed by link plates which are arranged parallel to one another and transverse webs which connect the link plates. The energy chain device further includes at least one drive device which is operatively connected to the moved strand, and a control unit which is connected to the drive device so as to transmit signals and is connectable so as to transmit signals to a control device of a device which is connectable to the movable connection region.

Energy chain device with at least one drive device for long travel paths

A link of an energy chain has two parallel side flaps and at least one horizontal web. The two side flaps and the at least one horizontal web are connected to each other by positioning, pivoting and engaging. Two pivoting groups are provided, including in each case a contact surface and a relevant intake for positioning the contact surface in such a way that the pivoting groups in the positioned state form a pivoting axis transversely to the longitudinal axis of the chain link. Furthermore, two engagement groups are provided which in each case are formed by a locking element and a relevant abutment for receiving the locking element. A chain link can be assembled in a simple manner by a plurality of different horizontal webs and side flaps, wherein the connection between the horizontal web and the side flap cannot be randomly released.

Chain link

Component of a chain element of an energy-conducting chain, wherein the component has a cavity which is produced by means of a fluid internal pressure injection molding method, or is formed from a micro-cellular foam.

The subject matter of the invention is a chain link of an energy-guiding chain for guiding cables, lines, hoses and the like between a positionally fixed connection point and a moveable connection point, wherein the chain link is formed in one piece from at least one plastic by two lugs, which are arranged spaced apart from one another, and at least one transverse web which connects the lugs by means of a connecting region. At least one of the lugs has at least one recess which is formed adjacent to the connecting region.
