New engineering products in 2024
e-spool® theatre 10m and accessories
Developed for theatre and stage use in accordance with DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390. Since last year, it has become an indispensable standard in theatre and stage technology. A further, more compact size with a travel of 10m and the new, optional accessories (ratchet, brake and connecting brackets for ceiling installation) now round off the product range. The extended length of the chain can be individually positioned using the ratchet. The brake ensures controlled winding. The connection brackets help with installation under the customer structure.
Low-cost zig-zag e-chain®
Light and cost-effective
All the advantages of an e-chain® with a new guide concept for travels of up to 10m. The system was designed for use
on different shaft end supports and is based on DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390. The current system length amounts to 2.16m. Different chain widths are possible, inner widths from 75 to 150mm are available.
- Weight is less than half of that of the standard zig-zag basket, allowing for a higher payload
- Price reduced by up to 50% compared to the standard zig zag basket
- Lower drive power thanks to weight reduction
- Quiet polymer e-chains®
SRM-L steel rotation module light
Simply reliable rotation
A standardised guide trough for various chain widths, including preparation for smart plastics end position control
- Price reduced by up to 40% compared to SRM
- Design based on the proven PRM system
- Fewer components and up to 40% less weight compared to the SRM
- Preparation for end position control
- Durable and low-maintenance
- Guide different media in one system

e-spool® microphone and e-spool® microphone stereo
The motorised microphone winch fills a gap in the field of sound technology and is particularly versatile thanks to its compact size and lightweight specifications. The use of the twisterband eliminates the need for a slip ring. Uninterrupted sound transmission can thus be guaranteed, for an extension length of 30m. With the e-spool microphone stereo, two cables are guided in parallel so that two microphones can be connected. Both systems are supplied complete with motor and control system, the e-spool® microphone stereo also comes with a microphone rail for two microphones.
e-loop® retrofit mounting console
Together with the new retrofit mounting consoles, the e-loop® is a ready-to-connect energy supply system for land drilling rigs. The standardised consoles for easy connection of the moving end and fixed end of the e-loop® ELP.300 to standard top drive models complete the e-loop® product range.
Smart support plates / floating moving end
The new igus® standard for support plates and floating moving ends with identical hole pattern and the same attachment height for an even more installation-friendly connection of the e-chain system® to the moving end. The system is supplied with an integrated holder for strain relief and can be equipped with EC.P push/pull force monitoring.
iRM igus® Rotation Module Online Configurator
Occasionally, the numerous standards do not fit into the available installation space and a custom rotating energy supply in a different installation size has to be elaborately designed. Configuring the perfect rotating energy supply system for your application is easy and takes just a few seconds - with the new Rotation Module Configurator. With an outer diameter of 200mm to 2,500mm, you receive a finished standard in your desired size, which you can order online immediately.
Design study: TRM triflex® rotation module
With five triflex® chains installed, the new TRM offers space for a variety of cables and other media. The compact type (outer diameter 1,300mm, installation height less than 1m) allows for the safe realisation of a 1,800° rotation angle.

Theatre e-spool® 10m and 15m
e-spool® energy chain system - for theatres and stages
Discover the energy chain system for theatre and stage operations based on DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390. The e-spool® is a cable guidance system with automatic retraction (spring tension). A new tension-optimised e-chain® is guided with a drum and uses an integrated retaining spring to ensure the correct length and tension for the energy supply system. The twisterband connects the drum with the shaft end block, which serves as an interface to the permanently installed cables.
- Different media types and sizes safely and reliably guided in one system
- Price reduced by up to 50% compared to previous e-spool® solutions
- Developed following DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390
- Optimised manufacturing process through standardised parts
- Spring force/rotary sensor monitoring (optional)
