After igus introduced the first snap-open (two-piece) E-Tubes in the mid 80s, many additional parts and innovations have been added to the product range. E-Tubes are usable in areas with hot chips, dirt and dust generated in wood processing, steel works, pulp factories, textiles, agriculture, coal-fired plants and in many other unfavorable environmental conditions. Select the cost efficient, alternative Series R100 for applications with slow and medium speeds.
The cost efficient alternative for applications with slow and medium speeds.
To open the E.Tube, prize the lid with a screwdriver and then swivel it.
You can find the right E-Chain® quickly by entering concrete parameters and with the aid of a comparison table.
Joining and separating of the E-Tubes.
Applications in various industrial sectors and in the igus® test laboratory.
