E2 R - Two-piece E-Tubes - chip protection - very silent operation

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. Go for the cost efficient, alternative Series R for higher speeds.
