Abstract
The invention relates to an energy chain for receiving and guiding cables, having pivotal chain links which adjoin one another in the longitudinal direction and each of which has cross members and comprises two side pieces lying opposite each other in a direction (q) transverse to the longitudinal direction (I), wherein the energy chain (5) includes a plurality of sections, each of which is designed in the form of two strand (7, 8) that are connected together by a deflecting region (6) extending about a deflecting arc. The energy chain can be moved about the deflecting arc, and each deflecting region (6) of the plurality of sections is guided on the inner face and the outer face thereof through guide elements (10) extending in an arc-shaped manner about the respective axis of the deflecting arc.
