"E2 E-Tube" applications

Since igus® launched the snap-open and (two-piece) E-Tube in the mid 80s, many additional parts and innovations have supplemented the product range. E-Tubes are applicable in areas with hot chips, dirt and dust generated by wood processing, steel works, pulp, textiles, agriculture and coal industry, and many other adverse environmental conditions. Select the cost-efficient, alternative Series R100 for applications with slow and medium speeds. Series R for higher speeds.

Typical industrial sectors and applications:

General machines, material transport, construction machines, long travels in many industrial sectors, semiconductor, ESD versions, theater and entertainment industry, vehicles.
