IGUS® GMBH - motion plastics® - tech up, cost down!

The troubleshooter for energy supply systems in the chip area - available in 4 sizes. Chips and dirt can affect the service life of cables and hoses significantly. With the RX system, igus® offers an extremely tight plastic e-tube that is nonetheless very easy to open. Snap-open in the outer radius A smooth, curved outer contour prevents chips from sticking Injection-molded "sealing lips" all around No holes, cracks, undercuts Series RX40 is IP40 tested (TÜV Saarland) Interior separation and guide trough available Covered pin/hole connection and stops "RBR" version with bending radius on both sides available Typical branches of industry Machine tools All applications in the direct chip sector Applications exposed to dust and dirt General mechanical engineering Dimensions and technical datas RX e-tubes RX32 Inner height hi: 42 mm Inner widths Bi: 80mm Bending radii R: 80 - 250 mm Pitch: 32 mm RX E-Tube RX40 Inner height hi: 52 mm Inner widths Bi: 100 mm bending radii R: 100 - 300 mm Pitch: 40 mm RX E-Tube RX48 Inner height hi: 62 mm Inner widths Bi: 120mm Bending radii R: 120 - 325 mm Pitch: 48 mm RX E-Tube RX56 Inner height hi: 73 mm Inner widths Bi: 140mm Bending radii R: 140 - 350 mm Pitch: 56 mm RX E-Tube RX56 High-temperature plastic version of the chip-proof RX energy tubes from stock - 850°C from 24h RX - from stock against hot chips red dot 2011: honourable mention for RX40 iF-Design-Award for RX e-tubes ESD classification: Electrically conductive ESD/Atex versions on request UL94-V0 classification on request e-tubes available as special design with HT material for 850°C hot chips The troubleshooter for energy supply systems in the chip area - available in 4 sizes.

The new RX tube needs over 30 seconds until it is filled up, thus proving its high leak tightness Y = time in seconds A = igus® products B = competitor Chip penetration test - Various types of tube were exposed to a defined quantity of chips. In the new RX tube, after 80,000 cycles only 0.2 g of chips were found in the interior Y = chip mass [g] A = igus® RX e-tube RX40.100.100 251.900 cycles B = igus® e-tubes 68.10.100.0 256.132 cycles C = test tube 01 250.907 cycles D = test tube 02* 2.600 cycles *Teststop after 2.600 cycles E = igus® products F = competitor E-Chain® selection aids You can find the right E-Chain® quickly by entering concrete parameters and with the aid of a comparison table.
