Series 045

Here you can configure your e-chain system® individually. All entries and changes are taking over to the part list which is situated at the end of the page.

Series 045 - Chain, non-openable

1. Small pitch for quiet, smooth running
2. Very light - ideal for applications with small moving masses
3. Dirt-repellent outer contours
4. Single-component e-chain® cannot be opened
5. Easy to fill option
Series E06 easy chain®
6. Openable option
Series 047 Zipper

Series 045 is suitable for the following types of applications:

Vertical: Hanging applications, standing applications
Horizontal: Unsupported applications ≤ 0.5 m
Circular movement: Rotating application possible, if necessary with reworking (from 180° rotation angle mechanical reworking is always necessary)

When to use Series 045

When a small e-chain® with 10.3mminner height and small pitch is required
For inner widths up to 64mm
For unsupported lengths up to 0.50m and fill weights up to 0.25kg/m
Quiet operation due to small pitch
If a very light e-chain® is required – ideal for applications with low inertia
When a one-sided, non-openable e-chain® is required

When not to use Series 045

When the opening of the chain links is necessary
Series 047 Zipper
When easy filling with connectors is required
Series E06 easy chain®
When torsional strength is very important
Series 06 E2 micro

* The required clearance height is HF = H + 10 mm (at 0.2 kg/m fill weight), which should be observed in all types of applications. Please contact us if you have particularly confined space requirements.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

A=Moving end, B=Fixed end
Pitch: 13mm
Chain links per m: 77
Travel: S
Chain length = S/2 + K

Unsupported length

The unsupported length depends on fill weight
X axis: unsupported length in m FLB/FLG
Y axis: fill weight in kg/m
Lower scale: travel S in m
FLB = unsupported with permissible sag
FLG = unsupported with straight upper run

Reference example A:
fill weight = 0.125 [kg/m]
unsupported length FLB = 0.375 m
travel = 0.75 m
