Link element for energy transfer chain - has height of cross-plate relative energy lines adjustable for compression of resilient packing elements and secure energy lines retention

摘要

The link element has two side plates (20, 22) and two cross plates (24, 26) at least one of the latter selectively released from the side plates (20, 22). A number of packing elements (30, 31, 32) fill the gaps between the enclosed energy lines (10...16) and the side plates (20, 22) and/or the releasable cross plate (24). The height of the cross plate (24) relative to the energy lines (10...16) is adjustable, for compression of the resilient packing elements (30, 31, 32) and secure retention of the energy lines (10...16). ADVANTAGE - Protects energy lines from damage due to friction forces.
