In harsh environments, cables need to be protected from dust, chips, dirt and other external influences. With our fully enclosed e-tube series, we offer the best protection for cables. Due to the dense and robust design, they can be used at high speeds. Strong mechanical stress cannot affect the energy chains. With the RX system, igus® offers an extremely tight, but yet very easy-to-open plastic e-tube.
Typical industries and applications: material transport, wood processing machines, in all areas with dirt and swarf...

INT(EN)
Energy chains for protection against dirt and swarf
Products
R2.1
Recommendation
Cost-effective and stable swarf protection with openable lid
- Inner height: 26 to 75mm
- Available in two versions:
- Openable from both sides along the outer radius
- Openable from both sides along the inner radius
- Large inner height and cost-effective at the same time
- Quiet operation due to integrated brake
- Smooth edge-free design
RX tubes
Extremely swarf-resistant for the use directly in chip areas
- Inner height: 42 to 73mm
- Lid in the outer radius removable
- Round contours mean that chips simply bounce off
- IP tested by TÜV NORD CERT GmbH
E2 R
Good chip protection at high speeds
- Inner height: 25 to 45mm
- Lids removable along the outer radius
- Quiet running thanks to the chain links' small pitch
E2 R100
Cost-effective swarf protection
- Inner height: 21–50mm
- Lids openable from both sides along the inner radius
- Cost-effective protection against dirt and swarf
R4.1L
Reduce cost, time and weight
- Inner height: 40 to 300mm
