Abstract: Techniques involve a device which includes an energy chain and a sliding table, the energy chain having a plurality of sliding shoes, each having a sliding surface for sliding on the sliding table. The sliding shoes each have a detection element, which is spaced from the corresponding sliding surface by a wearing layer. The sliding table has a sensor for determining the distance (d) between the sensor and the detection elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a line guidance device for guiding cables, lines, hoses, and the like between one locally fixed and one movable connection point, wherein the line guiding device has at least one support unit having a substantially band-shaped design, and retaining elements designed in one piece with the support unit, wherein the retaining elements are formed from the support unit and protrude from the same in a substantially transverse fashion toward the support unit.

Abstract: A component for a line routing system including at least one line routing device having at least one section of the surface of the component that is flocked. The component of line routing device is at least one of a chain link, a chain link plate of a chain link, a transverse web of a chain link, a cover of a chain link, a dividing web of a chain link, a guide element, a housing, a line, and a hose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding door system, comprising at least one sliding door, wherein a guide rail is provided in the vehicle body in the vicinity of the door opening. A guiding element can be displaced along the guide rail, the element being connected to the sliding door via a retaining arm. The sliding door system has a power conducting unit, which is formed by members connected to each other in an articulated manner for receiving and guiding at least one line, which extends from a stationary connection on a vehicle body to a connecting element. The power conducting unit can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. The guide rail overlaps the power conducting unit at least in some regions.

Abstract: A modular energy conducting guide chain, which is composed of a plurality of serially arranged and interconnected guide elements. A terminal mounting element is joined at one or both ends of the interconnected guide elements, and a hollow guide section is connected to the terminal mounting element. The guide elements each comprise a generally tubular body which is composed of first and second guide sections which have the configuration of a segment of a sphere, and an intermediate joint section which may be flexible. To couple the adjacent guide elements in the chain, the first spherical guide section of one of the adjacent guide elements is positioned to overlie the second spherical guide section of the other of the adjacent guide elements, so as to permit relative rotation therebetween.
