摘要： The proposed line guiding system for at least one heavy and/or rigid line, for example a power cable for shore-side power supply for a ship (alternative maritime power), has a winding device which is rotatable about an axis of rotation for coiling and uncoiling the line and a rotary guide for the line from a first point to a relatively rotatable second point. The rotary guide has a helical guiding course having first helical layers, in which the line is wound about the axis of rotation, and second helical layers, in which the line is wound in the opposite direction. A return curve connects the two helical layers. According to the invention, the rotary guide has a tubular support sleeve which is coaxial with respect to the axis of rotation and serves to support the helical layers radially outwards or radially inwards. Furthermore, a rotary decoupling structure is provided, by which helical layers supported on the support sleeve are decoupled from the winding device.

摘要： The invention relates to a system for monitoring the state of a cable (70), which is guided in an energy chain (1) between a base and a movable driver element. The movable energy chain forms a movable run (1B) at a driver element (2), a resting run (1A) at a base (4) and, between the two runs, a deflecting bend (1C). A monitoring device having at least one indicating element (64) at the energy chain (1) evaluates an indicating-element signal and monitors whether an error state occurs. The indicating element has two electrical indicating conductors (62A, 62B) guided by the energy chain, which indicating conductors extend along the movable run (1B), and the monitoring device comprises a measuring circuit for resistance measurement or conductance measurement (65 . . . 69). One end point of each indicating conductor (62A, 62B) is connected to the measuring circuit and the other end points of the indicating conductors (62A, 62B) are short circuited such that the indicating conductors (62A, 62B) form a measurement loop (62).

摘要： The invention concerns a line guide device (100 . . . 1100) for lines like for example cables, hoses or the like, in particular for a clean room application, which has a flexible sheath (210 . . . 610). The sheath (210 . . . 1100) is designed in the manner of a corrugated tube and has a corrugated profile for the purposes of flexibility. The sheath (210 . . . 1100) has an asymmetric bending characteristic in relation to curvature about the direction-changing axis and to opposite curvature such that the permitted bending sag is considerably less than the desired curvature.According to an aspect there is proposed a particular configuration of shell portions (331, 332; 1031, 1032; 1201, 1202) for constructing the sheath, in particular in respect of the corrugated profiles and the fixing of the shell portions (1201, 1202).A further aspect concerns a supporting skeleton (440; 540; 640; 940) for a corrugated tube.

摘要： The invention relates to a monitoring system for tractive and compressive forces in a power track chain (1) for protected guidance of cables, hoses etc. The monitoring system comprises at least one force sensor (10, 90) for measuring a tractive or compressive force transmitted between a driver (4) and a moveable end (3) of the power track chain, and an evaluation unit (12) for evaluating the measurement signals detected by the force sensor. The invention is characterized by the design and arrangement of the force sensor (10, 90). This force sensor is designed as a connecting member for attaching the moveable end (3) of the power track chain (1) on the driver (4) and comprises at least one web (32, 34, 92) extended substantially transversely to the direction of the tractive/compressive force. The web has at least one elastically deformable bending region (321, 322, 341, 342) with an associated sensor (621, 622, 641, 642) for measuring deformation produced by bending.

摘要： The invention relates to an energy guiding chain for guiding cables, hoses and the like between two connecting points that move relative to each other, comprising a plurality of tubular chain links (1), which are connected to each other in articulated fashion and made of plastic, and each of which displays a bottom wall (2), adjoining, opposite side walls (3, 4), and a cover wall (5), where the cover wall (5) is or can be detachably connected to the side walls (3, 4), the side walls (3, 4) each display a pivot pin (6) and a joint opening (7) for the articulated connection of adjacent chain links (1), the pivoting angle is limited by stops (8) in both pivoting directions, and the cover walls (5), side walls (3, 4) and bottom walls (2) overlap over the entire pivoting angle. On an energy guiding chain of this kind, the protection of the interior is to be even further improved, and handling during opening and closing of the energy guiding chain facilitated. According to the invention, this is made possible by the fact that the cover wall (5) displays at least one fastening tab (11) on each side, in that the fastening tabs (11) reach over the outer surfaces of the side walls (3, 4), in that snap-in elements (12) are provided on the inner surfaces of the fastening tabs (11) facing towards the outer surfaces of the side walls (3, 4), in that mating snap-in elements (13) are provided on the outer surfaces of the side walls (3, 4), interacting with the snap-in elements (12) of the fastening tabs (11), and in that the snap-in elements (12) and mating snap-in elements (13) form a hinge on at least one side of the energy guiding chain.

摘要： The invention relates to a line guide (100; 200; 300) for protecting at least one line, such as a cable, a hose, or the like for example, for supplying a motor vehicle seat for example. A longitudinal portion with multiple segments (110, 112; 210; 310) of the line guide is produced as a single piece, and each of the multiple segments has a closable holder (123; 223; 323) for the at least one line. Thus, the line can be positioned in a receiving area (130; 230; 330) when the holder is open and is held transversely to the longitudinal direction (L) in the closed position of the holder. The segments are connected together in the longitudinal direction so as to form an elbow (106; 206) by means of a flexible connection. The invention is characterized in that the connection between the segments comprises a first flexible section (120; 220; 320) and a second flexible section (120; 220; 320), and at least one transverse connector (122; 222; 322) is provided which is produced integrally with the sections and which runs about the longitudinal direction (L) in an arc- or bracket-like manner in the closed position of the holder so that the two sections (120; 220; 320) lie laterally relative to the receiving area and specify a neutral axis which crosses the receiving area (130; 230; 330).

摘要： The invention relates to a cable guide (1) comprising links (2) that are each angle-adjustable multi-axially relative to each other and connected to each other in articulated fashion, where each link (2) displays an inner part (3) with corresponding, multi-axially angle-adjustable, articulated connectors (5, 6) and a casing part (4) for peripheral delimitation of at least one guiding duct (7), and the casing part (4) encompasses at least one segment (10), which is connected to the inner part (3) by a web (20), in a manner permitting it to be pivoted open for accessing the associated guiding duct (7) on the peripheral side. To facilitate the insertion and removal of lines, and to increase their protection, it is proposed that the casing parts (4) of adjacent links (2) overlap in the longitudinal direction (L), and that a joint arrangement (30) having at least two degrees of freedom be provided between the at least one segment (10) and the web (20), by means of which the segment (10) is mounted in such a way that it can move outwards transversely to the longitudinal direction (L) while being pivoted open.
