The Easy Chain¬Æ E-Chain System¬Æ Cable Carrier, part number E14, is designed for applications requiring limited torsion tolerance and quiet operation. It features a small pitch of 1.20 inches (30.5 mm) per link, allowing for smooth movement and a cable-friendly interior. The E14 series includes a split crossbar along the outer radius, facilitating easy filling of harnessed cable assemblies without the need for opening and closing the chain. The E14 series is suitable for unsupported lengths and can operate at speeds up to 65.6 ft/s (20 m/s) with a maximum acceleration of 656 ft/s¬= (200 m/s¬=). It is made from igumid NB material, which can withstand temperatures ranging from -40¬8F (-40¬8C) to +176¬8F (+80¬8C) and has a flammability class of VDE 0304 IIC UL94 V2. The inner widths range from 0.59 inches (15 mm) to 1.97 inches (50 mm), and bending radii are available from 1.1 inches (28 mm) to 4.92 inches (125 mm). This product is ideal for applications where price is a consideration and where quiet operation is essential. However, it is not suitable for gliding applications, which should be considered when selecting the appropriate series for specific project requirements.
