Sea locks commonly use festoon systems and with that can come issues with maintenance. This is why customers are changing from festoon systems to igus energy chains.

In this week’s video of the week, the igus e-chain is
shown powering the sea lock with ease.

After retrofitting in 2006, replacing
a festoon system, a further retrofit was commissioned in 2011.

The
chain is fitted with chainflex cables, offering a complete system resistant to
UV, sea water and oil.
