Enclosed e-chain® cable carriers for protection against dirt and chips

The primary task of the family of closed tubes is to protect cables from dirt, dust and chips. Being openable thanks to hinged or removable lids, stop-dogs encapsulated and protected against dirt and high stability mean that the tube product range becomes standard when it gets dirty.

R2.1

Cost-effective and stable chip protection with openable lid

r2.1
  • Inner height: 26 to 75mm
  • Available in two versions:
    • Openable from both sides along the outer radius
    • Openable from both sides along the inner radius
  • Large inner height and cost-effective at the same time
  • Quiet operation due to integrated brake
  • Smooth edge-free design

RX tubes

Extremely chip-resistant for the use directly in chip areas

rx
  • Inner height: 42 to 73mm
  • Lid in the outer radius removable
