igus RX swarf-resistant energy chain

Thursday, 17 May, 2012 | Supplied by: Treotham Automation Pty Ltd


igus claims its RX plastic energy tube is almost 100% airtight, with the result of 2.7 g chips after 251,900 cycles during testing. The company has also carried out underwater tests to comply with the absolute airtight requirement, IP40, TÜV Saarland.

The rounded design without undercut or edges and the smoothly curved outer contour allows chips - from coarse to tiny particles - to slide off. In addition, the connection elements and fittings are concealed, so that chips cannot be caught on these either. The energy tube is easy to open and can quickly be swung open in the outer radius.

Three design sizes with an inner height of 52, 62 or 73 mm are available, as well as a design size available with a maximum inner height of 42 mm.

The 42 mm size is available with the option of a high-temperature variant, resistant to hot chips up to 850°C and also as a variant with reverse bending radius (RBR).

The company claims the energy chain is resistant to dust, dirt, oil, aggressive environment conditions, humidity and heat.
