In order to limit the pivoting angle, stop projections (107) are provided in an overlap region of the one link plate (102) and engage into corresponding stop pockets (108) in the overlap region of the other link plate (101). The stop surfaces (107A, 107B) of a stop projection (107) cooperate with counter-stop surfaces (108A, 108B) of a stop pocket (108). According to one aspect of the invention, the one link plate (102) comprises precisely three stop projections (107), with a blocking width between their stop surfaces (107A, 107B), the angular dimension of each preferably being at least 40°, and that the other link plate (101) comprises precisely three stop pockets (108) which are formed as a depression in this link plate (102), with an opening width between their counter-stop surfaces (108A, 108B), the angular dimension of each preferably being at least 55°. The angular dimension (α) of the blocking width is intended to be at least 50% of the angular dimension (β) of the opening width. According to a further aspect, a stop projection (207A, 207B) has a protruding holding element (230A, 230B), and a stop pocket (208A, 208B) has a protruding retaining element (231A, 231B), and the holding element (230A, 230B) and the retaining element (231A, 231B) cooperate in such a way that they hold connected link plates on one another laterally.

Abstract

A conduit for lines, such as cables or hoses, particularly in a clean room application. The conduit has an elongate, flexible casing which can be moved to and fro, particularly while forming a deflecting bend between two runs, and at least one receptacle for guiding at least one line, with each receptacle extending in the form of a channel in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. One feature of the invention consists in the fact that the casing has, to the side on at least one receptacle, at least one functional zone extending in a longitudinal direction, which functional zone forms a seal with two interacting sealing profiles to ensure a dust-tight closure of an open state, in which open state a line can be inserted into or removed from the receptacle transversely to the longitudinal direction. A further feature consists in the fact that the individual casing has a fastening profile extending on another longitudinal side in the longitudinal direction for a detachable connection to a corresponding fastening profile of a further casing. The invention further relates to a special clamping device for connecting the end of the casing, which clamping device comprises a deformable pressure piece which protrudes at the end beyond a clamping piece and forms a corner protection.

Abstract

Monitoring systems for energy chains which guide lines, and which are displaceable along a displacement path and thereby form a movable strand, a stationary strand, and a deflection arc therebetween. According to a first aspect, one or multiple sensors are arranged stationary and form a detection path along the displacement path of the energy chain, in order to react to an approaching and/or contact of the energy chain. According to a second aspect, a plurality of sensor modules are distributed along the energy chain. In this case, each sensor module has a measurand detector and a communication unit for transmitting outputs to an evaluation unit. The first and the second aspect allow function monitoring, for example for the purpose of a safety shutdown. According to a third aspect, a sensor module is arranged on the driver-side end region. The module has a sensor for the quantitative detection of a kinematic parameter of the end region, as well as a communication unit for transmitting output data depending on detected kinematic parameters. This allows an application-dependent prediction of the remaining service life of energy chains.

Abstract

Cable carriers having laterally stabilized tabs made of plastic. An arc-shaped guide region of one tab engages in a free space behind a retaining nub on the other tab. The retaining nub provides lateral stabilization. According to the invention, the retaining nub is spatially limited to a middle height section of the tab height and limited in dimension in the circumferential direction about the pivot axis. The arc-shaped guide region is thus overlapped solely by a smaller proportion, preferably ≤33%, of the arc length or angle width thereof by the retaining nub and remains not overlapped (that is, laterally free) over a predominant proportion, particularly 66%, of the arc length or angle width thereof by the retaining nub. This particularly facilitates the assembly of the chain tabs and their connection to each other.

Abstract

The invention relates to energy chains (10) for guiding lines, such as cables, hoses or the like. In roller chains, rollers (7A, 7B) are provided on at least some chain links (20) 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 (S) of a pair of side parts (40; 50) of the chain links (20). According to one aspect of the invention, each of the two strands (11A, 11B) consists of alternatingly successive first and second side parts (40, 50), wherein the first side parts (40) are forked with two fork regions (40A, 40B) which oppose each other in the longitudinal direction and each have a pair of laterally spaced side walls (42) with a plate receptacle (44) therebetween, and wherein the second side parts (50) are plate-like with two plate regions (50A, 50B) which oppose each other in the longitudinal direction and each engage in a plate receptacle (44) of an adjacent first side part (40).
