"E2 E-Tube" applications
Since igus® launched the snap-open and (two-piece) E-Tube in the mid 80s, many additional parts and innovations have supplemented the product range. E-Tubes are applicable in areas with hot chips, dirt and dust generated by wood processing, steel works, pulp, textiles, agriculture and coal industry, and many other adverse environmental conditions. Select the cost-efficient, alternative Series R100 for applications with slow and medium speeds. Series R for higher speeds.
Typical industrial sectors and applications:
General machines, material transport, construction machines, long travels in many industrial sectors, semiconductor, ESD versions, theater and entertainment industry, vehicles.
U-shaped support of the E-Tube at high lateral acceleration
Series R68 in an apple sorting facility, in continuous contact with humidity and dust.
E-Tube of the R type series are also best suited for small installation spaces and high speed. Ready assembled here with hydraulic cables and mounting parts
E2 E-Tube unsupported installation on the side in the chip area
Wood processing
machine
These applications are dependent on a compact energy supply system, for which the accumulating wood chips do not matter.
Road construction
An asphalt finisher applies hot and cold bitumen mixtures. The E-Chain® supplies the front area of the vehicle and is exposed to extreme dirt.
Streetcar switches
The applied material repels chips with temperatures up to 850° C without leaving a trace.
Flat motorbike
This motorbike prototype has been designed extremely flat to keep consumption as low as possible.
Milling machine
Another great project with five students is under way at the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb), Technical University of Munich.
Further interesting applications from extremely diverse areas can be found here.
