Claim 18:
19. An arrangement for an energy guide chain (1) with wear detection, the arrangement comprising a pair of chain links of the energy guide chain (1) connected together by an articulated joint, with in each case two link plates, which are held parallel by crosspieces connecting the link plates, and with in each case one internal part (123) attached between the crosspieces (7) in each of the two chain links of the pair,
wherein the two internal parts (123) have interacting conjugate end regions (124, 125) which are arranged opposite one another axially relative to a nominal swivel axis of the articulated joint of the two interconnected chain links,
wherein a first component is attached at one end region (124, 125) of one internal part (123) and a second component is attached at the end region (124, 125) of the other internal part (123),
wherein the components are capacitively or inductively coupled in order to be able to identify a change in the coupling in the event of wear-related occurrence of radial and/or axial play in the articulated joint between the two chain links.
