Zipper e-chain® & e-tube® Cable Tubing for Quick Installation
Lightning-fast opening and closing with Zipper e-chain® and e-tubes
Zipper e-chains® are known for their practicability and performance. The "zipper" function shortens the installation time. The small pitch, the rugged elastic zipper band and the heavy-duty links are ideal for applications requiring high accelerations. The Zipper series is one of the most popular igus® e-chain® series in sophisticated industrial sectors.
Zipper e-chain®
- Short installation time: Lightning-fast opening and closing of lids with zipper
- Zipper lid can be separated and joined in any chain link
- Small pitch for low-noise and smooth operation
- High accelerations: can handle over 100 m/s²
- Interior separation is possible to increase cable life
Zipper e-tube
- Closed e-tube with zip-open system
- Protection against dirt and chips
- Band features quick-opening lids
- Modular design for simple lengthening and shortening
- Small division for low-noise, silent operation, high accelerations
Opening the zipper e-chain®
As shown in this demonstration of the Series 09 Zipper e-chain®, the lids can easily be opened for quick and easy cable installation.
