Abstract
Energy chains for guiding lines, such as cables, hoses or the like. In roller chains, rollers are provided on at least some chain links for moving the energy chain in a rolling manner, in particular on chain links of the opposite run, the rotational axis of one roller in each case coinciding with the common pivot axis of a pair of side parts of the chain links. Each of the two strands consists of alternatingly successive first and second side parts, wherein the first side parts are forked with two fork regions which oppose each other in the longitudinal direction and each have a pair of laterally spaced side walls with a plate receptacle therebetween, and wherein the second side parts are plate-like with two plate regions which oppose each other in the longitudinal direction and each engage in a plate receptacle of an adjacent first side part.
