Abstract: A transverse bar for a chain link of an energy guiding chain for guiding lines. The transverse bar has an elongate main body comprising a first plastic and at both longitudinal ends a connecting region for connection to the side plates. The main body of the transverse bar has two long narrow sides which each have a holding device for separating bars. Provided on the inside of the main body that faces towards the lines is a line-protecting layer for handling the lines gently and comprising a second plastic which is different from the plastic of the main body and is selected to reduce abrasion upon relative movement between a line and the transverse bar. In that case the line-protecting layer extends from one narrow side to the other and at least predominantly covers over the inside of the main body but leaves uncovered the respective holding device at the one narrow side and at the other narrow side.

Abstract: An energy chain comprising rollers on a number of chain links of the upper strand and/or of the lower strand. The rollers project, at least to a slight extent, beyond narrow sides of the lateral plates in the direction of the respectively opposite strand, in order to allow for rolling action when the energy chain is displaced. The invention provides for the rollers to comprise a wheel body made of plastic and having a hub, a rim and a radial region, which connects the hub and rim. The material thickness of the radial region is reduced in comparison with the rim such that radial impacts during the course of the rolling action can be damped by elastic deformability of the radial region of the roller itself. This significantly reduces the development of noise and vibration caused by rollers located opposite one another coming into contact with one another. The invention also proposes a roller subassembly and/or a chain link made up of two opposite lateral plates with corresponding rollers and, as a further aspect, a special way of fastening the rollers on successive lateral plates.
