Series R15 "Zipper" Energy tube - zip-open along outer radius

1. Lightning fast opening and closing of lids with zipper
2. Small pitch for extremely quiet operation (11 links/ft (33/m))
3. Protection against dirt and chips

Inner widths Bi: 0.59 up to 3.94 (15 - 100 mm)
Bending radii R: 2.48, 2.95, 3.94, 4.33, 4.92, 5.71, 7.09 (63, 75, 100, 110, 125, 145, 180 mm)
Pitch: 1.2 (30.5 mm) per link = 11links/ft (33m)

When to use Series R15

If superfast cable assembly through zipper lids is required
If protection against chips is required
If installation of preassembled cables is required
If aesthetic design is required

When not to use Series R15

When the links do not need to be opened

A=Moving End , B=Fixed End
Pitch: 1.2 (30.5 mm) per link
Links per ft: 11 (33/m)
Travel: S
Chain 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

Two options for interior separation of the energy tube R15 are available 1. Separators They are used if only vertical division is required. A slotted separator is also used for this type of division. The separator can also be used with shelving for continuous, horizontal division. 2. Interior separation with continuous, horizontal division This is useful if many thin cables with similar or identical diameters are employed.
