Abstract:
1. An energy guide chain system comprising an energy guide chain for guiding cables and hoses between a fixed and a movable connection point, an entrainment portion to which the energy guide chain is connected by way of the movable connection point, and a linear guide channel, wherein the energy guide chain is guided in the form of two runs which are guided in mutually parallel relationship and which are connected to each other by way of a deflection region, characterized in that the entrainment portion has a telescopic arm which extends transversely relative to the guide channel with a fastening side for connection to an apparatus which is movable relative to the fixed connection point, the telescopic arm movable relative to the guide channel and connected slidably in its longitudinal direction to the movable connection point and fastened by a non-pivoting connection to said apparatus and wherein the spacing between the fastening side of said telescopic arm and the energy guide chain is variable in a travel component in transverse relationship with the longitudinal direction of the runs of the energy guide chain, further characterised in that the guide channel in the form of a hollow profile with two oppositely disposed side walls adjacent to which the two runs and the deflection region of the energy guide chain are guided, wherein the hollow profile has a passage extending in the longitudinal direction for the entrainment portion, and that the entrainment portion is arranged entirely outside the space extending between the two runs.
