Series RX.48

Here you can configure your e-chain system® individually. All entries and changes are taking over to the part list which is situated at the end of the page.

Series RX. 48 - tube, openable along the outer radius

1. Chip-proof design without undercuts or edges
2. Rounded contour
3. Large capacity with max. 62 mm inner height
4. covered pin and bore connection and stop-dogs
5. "RBR" version available with reverse bend radius as standard
6. Lid can be removed on the outer radius
7. Mounting bracket with strain relief option
8. Interior separation available
9. Guide trough available

RX48 Series is suitable for the following types of applications:

Vertical: hanging applications, standing applications
Horizontal: unsupported applications ≤ 1,8 m, gliding applications
Circular motions: rotary applications possible, may require machining (machining rework is always required from rotation angles of 180°)

When to use series RX. 48

If an extremely chip-proof, small e-tube without undercuts or edges with 62 mm interior height is required
Inner width 120 mm
For unsupported lengths up to 2,4 m and fill weights up to 12,0 kg/m
If easy access from outside is required

When not to use series RX. 48

If higher stability is required
Series R4.42
When no chip protection is required
Series E6.62

* The required clearance height is HF = H + 50 mm (with 0,5 kg/m fill weight), this should be taken into account for all application types. Please contact us if you have particularly narrow space conditions.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

A=Moving end, B=Fixed end
Pitch: 48 mm per link
Chain links per m: 21
Travel: S
Chain length = S/2 + K

Unsupported length

Unsupported length versus fill weight
X axis: Unsupported length in m FLB/FLG
Y axis: Fill weight in kg/m
Lower scale: Travel S in m
FLB = Unsupported with permissible sag
FLG = Unsupported with straight upper run

Reference example A:
Fill weight = 5,0 [kg/m]
Unsupported length FLB = 1,5 m
Travel = 3,0 m

Option 2 - Full-width shelves
Vertical division of the large filling space with cable-friendly plastic separators. Due to their slots, basic vertical/horizontal shelving arrangements are possible. As standard, igus® separators are assembled every second e-chain® link!

Part no. RX48.1 (centre position) and part no. RX48.2 (outer positions)

Horizontal division
Locks securely into separators at both ends, giving a fixed width. Can be used as full-width shelf for integrated subdivision or as a partial shelf for separation on one level.
