Series R09 "Zipper" - zip-open along outer radius

1. “Zipper” fast opening and closing
2. Small pitch for low-noise, smooth operation
3. Protection against dirt and chips
4. iF-Design Award Winner
5. Lightweight
6. Zipper lids can be separated and joined at each link
7. For high acceleration
8. Mounting bracket with integrated strain relief
9. Small zip-open Energy Tube

Inner widths Bi: 0.39 up to 1.97 (10 - 50 mm)
Bending radii R: 1.89, 2.95, 3.94 (48, 75, 100 mm)
Pitch: 0.79 (20 mm) per link = 16 links/ft (50/m)

When to use series R09 energy tubes

If fast installation using zipper lids is required
If protection against dust and dirt is required
If quick insertion of cables with preassembled connectors is required

When not to use series R09 energy tube

If opening of the link is not necesary
E2 Micro, Series 08
If cable installation without opening lids is necessary
Series E08 E-Z Chain

* The required installation clearance is HF = H + 0.59 (15 mm) (in the case of 0.2 lbs/ft (0.3 kg/m) additional load) If extremely restricted space is available, please consult us.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

Pitch = 0.79 (20 mm)
Links/ft = 16 (50/m)
Tube length = S/2 + K

Unsupported length

Dependency of the unsupported length on the additional load
X axis: Unsupported length in ft FLB/FLG
Y axis: Additional load in lbs/ft
Lower scale: Length of travel S in ft
FLB = unsupported with permissible sag
FLG = unsupported with straight upper run
