RX e-tube enclosed cable carriers offer extreme protection against chips

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, but yet very easy to open plastic e-tube.

Benefits:

Snap-open along the outer radius
A smooth, curved outer contour prevents chip buildup
Circumferential injection-moulded "sealing lips"
No holes, cracks, undercuts
Series RX40 is IP40 tested (TÜV Saarland)
Interior separation and guide trough available
Concealed pin/hole connection and stops
"RBR" version available with bending radius on both sides

Typical industry applications: Machine tools, applications exposed to chips, dirt and dust, and general mechanical engineering

RX tubes IP tested

Submersion test in water

Various tube types were submerged under water. The new RX tube needs over 30 seconds until it is filled up, thus proving its high leak tightness

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
