Abstract
A side portion for a chain link of an energy guiding chain. The side portion has at its ends a respective overlap region which, for limiting pivotal movement, are provided with corresponding abutment surfaces and with a pivot axis, that is to say a first overlap region having first abutment surfaces and a second overlap region having second abutment surfaces. For damping of the pivotal movement, disposed in front of at least each first abutment surface is a spring lip which is resiliently deformable about a bending axis parallel to the pivot axis. The spring lip has an end region which is axial with respect to its bending axis, for coupling in the kinetic energy which is transmitted to said spring lip in the position of installation by the second abutment surface, that corresponds to the first abutment surface, of the second overlap region of the adjacent chain link.
