Solutions for

horizontal motion

micro flizz
A system for the safe
®

guidance of energy,
data and air
Advantages of micro flizz®:
● Compact, quiet, cost-effective complete system
as a maintenance-free alternative to a busbar
● e-chain® is guided in special slots, no gliding
● Smooth running due to ball bearings in the guide carriages
● Fast assembly due to pre-configured, modular system
● Less space required
● Also available as pre-assembled system
● Control option via stationary switch cabinet

When to use another system:

● For an upper run guide for long travels,
unsupported in chip areas
guidelok horizontal
● For a cost-effective and fully enclosed complete solution

Overview

Separated upper and lower run: Running trough the radius, In the extended position, the wings fold out and safely hold the upper
integrated wings fold in run in the elevated position

A polymer spring element cushions the motion inside the trough micro flizz® accessory: Connection for compressed air coupling
and lower noise

Special feature: micro flizz construction

Yesterday: Moving lower run, sliding function. Today: micro flizz® - Small e-chains®, self-guiding in guiding
Long travels need stable e-chains® channel - Friction is reduced by factor 3 over the conventional
system.

Technical data micro flizz®

Universal attachment options due to three T-grooves
e-chain system®

Wings hold the e-chain® secure in the guidance channel

Separated upper and lower run of the Flizz® e-chain®, thus less friction and reduced push/
pull forces
Polymer springs for a soft unrolling of the e-chain® in the Flizz® channel effect a substantial noise
reduction
igus®

Opposed e-chains® can be used, that means a double filling or two independent travels
are possible
Attachment of the e-chain® by roller cart on the moving end, gliding or locking possible
Integrated strain relief in the guide carriage for the safe fixing of cables
