About the RX56

High-temperature plastic option of the swarf-resistant RX e-tubes - 850°C

Against hot chips
The extremely dense plastic pipe from igus® is now available as an HT version. Thanks to the special material, hot chips up to 850°C cannot adhere. The chip-repellent "round" and completely closed design make this series the perfect pipe for direct chip applications. The highlight: Although completely closed, it can be opened and easily filled in the outer radius.

Temperature-resistant against chips with temperatures up to 850°C, no adhesion of hot chips

Openable along the outer radius

No openings, gaps or undercuts

IP40 tested (TÜV Nord) - RX40

Smooth, curved outer contour - chips do not stick

Interior separation and support tray available

Areas of application: Machine tools, machining, general mechanical engineering

Test: 20 g of hot swarf (200 to 850 °C) applied to various materials. The graph shows the amount of swarf burnt in. Test winner: igumid® HT up to 850 °C.
