Igus unveils R2.75 E2 e-tube for machine tools
Energy chain specialist Igus says it has developed a tough, cost-effective energy tube called the R2.75 E2. The fully enclosed design of the e-tube, with an inner height of 75 mm, ensures that no external debris can get inside to damage the cables and hoses.
The e-tube lids feature a special hinge system that enables them to be opened from either side. This allows for the faster filling of cables and hoses, as well as easier access in service. Additionally, the double-stop dog system makes for a strong tube which can carry high fill weights, says Igus.
The e-tube is fitted with closed mounting brackets using aluminium lids with integrated C-profile rails. This allows all cables to be anchored correctly using Igus strain relief products.
