igus unveils cable carrier for offshore platforms
igus, a cable carrier-expert company, has launched one of the largest-ever plastic cable carriers in the world. The new Energy Chain ‘E4.350’ is wear proof, maintenance free and resistant to seawater and mineral oil.
The giant cable carrier is primarily developed for demanding applications exposed to ice, wind, storm, salt water, oil and drilling mud in applications on offshore oil-drilling platforms. E4.350 can move nearly 50 feet up and down, and guarantees protected and well guiding of heavy hydraulic cables when a drilling rig is skidded on to an oil platform, or during a drilling head’s stroke.
Cables can often be found hanging loose without any kind of guidance or protection on oil platforms. Maintenance-free E4.350 improves safety for this challenging environment. The cable carrier is made from igus’ high-performance plastics and is completely corrosion resistant. The cable carrier chain also offers a weight saving over comparable steel alternatives.
The giant cable carrier has an internal height of approximately 14 inches and a variable inner width of eight inches to over three feet, giving a large internal capacity. Large cables and hoses with diameters up to around 12 inches are ably guided by the plastic chain, with loads possible in the region of 70 pounds per foot.
The E4.350’s design ensures extremely high torsion rigidity and stability. Thanks to the interlocking links and the large bolted joint between them, movement is smooth. The design also significantly increases lateral stability and prevents the cable carrier from coming apart.
Center links increase stability further and make it possible to extend the width of the cable carrier almost without limitation. Integrated sliding surfaces, larger wear surfaces and extra-strong stop-dogs guarantee a long service life. Additionally, special outer and inner links ensure a straight run and quick assembly. A comprehensive, easy-to-assemble, modular range of accessories includes internal cable separators and shelving options.
