guidelok horizontal

Horizontal Guidelok System
for unsupported travels

upper run guide for long, self-supporting travels in chip areas


Metal chips can cause abrasion and wear in long travel, gliding cable carrier applications. To combat this, igus® has developed a horizontal guiding system called “Guidelok”, which is designed to keep the upper and lower cable carrier runs apart. The new solution is ideal for applications in the machine tool industry up to 164 feet.

Benefits:

1)  Dirt cannot get stuck between the sliding surfaces of the upper and lower run
2)  Modular system with few parts (also possible without lateral trough)
3)  Enormous increase in unsupported lengths of energy chains
4)  Intelligent upper run guidance with pivoting roller supports

Typical applications
  • Machine tools
  • Dirty environments
  • Anywhere where gliding application is not recommended

Design principle

The horizontal guidelok guides the upper run of the energy chain on special pivoting roller supports that can fold in the moving radius of the energy chain and guarantee an unobstructed "travel" of the system.
guidelok horizontal The e-chain® is guided in the trough channel, pushing back the spring loaded roller supports with its radius.
guidelok horizontal Roller supports pivot in and out again after the radius
guidelok horizontal The upper run then lays on the roller supports.

Real-world examples

Guidelok horizontal is used in the horizontal lathe of the Spanish machine builder

Due to this new design of the guidelok horizontal, no chips can get stuck between the sliding surfaces of the upper and lower runs of the energy chain.
