igus micro flizz MF10 energy chain

The igus micro flizz MF10 energy chain allows even cable diameters up to 16 mm with bending radii up to 75 mm to be routed compactly. The energy chain supplies moving media and control signals via a carriage or slide within a metal guiding channel. Wings keep the chain safely in the channel; when the chain bends in the radius, the wings lie flat so the chain can leave the groove. This results in mechanical separation of upper and lower runs, minimising friction, wear and noise.

The unit is completely enclosed and thus insensitive to dirt, dust and humidity, as well as tough environmental conditions. Since the energy chains can bear loads of up to 59 kg, they can be used for manual workstations.

It is suitable for automated applications including sliding or folding doors as well as camera and studio equipment and can be used to replace calbe drums in sewage treatment plants.

The previously available design sizes, MF06 (inner width 10 mm) and MF08 (inner width 18 mm), are supplemented by the new size MF10 (inner width 20 mm). The MF10 uses energy chains with a radius of 75 mm for more flexible filling with larger cable diameters of up to 16 mm.
