ENERGY CHAINS
Günter Blase began igus® back on 15th October 1964 in a double garage in Cologne. For the first 20 years, the company worked as a supplier of complex technical polymer components.
However, in 1983 Frank Blase established reinforced plastic Energy Chains Systems® and injection moulded polymer bearings as two distinct product groups and set up a network of sales engineers. These seemingly unrelated products are linked together through the belief in making functionally advanced, yet affordable polymer components and assemblies.
Igus produces a wide range of energy chains.
Cost-effective and easy-to-fill energy chains, 1-piece and with zipper
supply, 2-piece The energy chains® standard kit for nearly all applications - 4-piec
