Series R88

DISCONTINUED MODEL
For new designs, we recommend the improved e-chain® series R4.56 from the igus® E4.1 modular system.
+25% more unsupported length, higher strength and tensile strength, same dimensions and connection dimensions

Series R88 is available from stock in limited numbers. Product support and storage are limited as of 2012. For questions, please refer to your igus® contact person. Thank you for your understanding
to the R4.56 series

Here you can configure your e-chain system® individually. All entries and changes are taking over to the part list which is situated at the end of the page.

Series R88 - Tube, enclosed

1.KMA mounting brackets
2.Fixed or pivoting mounting brackets available
3. R88: Lid can be pivoted and removed.
4. R88: Shelves can be removed
5.Tube and chain can be combined
6. Strain relief can be integrated into the mounting bracket
7.40/41: Crossbars removable from both sides

Available inner widths Bi: 75 to 462mm
Available bend radii R: 150 to 500mm
Pitch: 91mm/link = 11 links/m

When to use Series R88

If you desire a simple system that is proven.

When not to use Series R88

If a quiet model is required
Series R880
If large unsupported lengths are required for side-mounted uses
Series R8840
When an easier and less expensive solution is required
Series R18840

* The required clearance height is HF = H + 50 mm (at 2 kg/m fill weight), which should be observed in all types of applications. Please contact us if you have particularly confined space requirements.
** The calculated length corresponds to the chain length without mounting brackets.

A=moving end, B=fixed end
Pitch: 91mm per link
Chain links per m: 11
Travel: S
Chain length = S/2 + K

Unsupported length

The unsupported length depends on fill weight
X axis: unsupported length in m FLB/FLG
Y axis: fill weight in kg/m
Lower scale: travel S in m
FLB = unsupported with permissible sag
FLG = unsupported with straight upper run

Separators can be fitted anywhere in the chain cross section. The standard separator part no. 401 offers secure standing ability through its wide base, even for large cables/hoses.
For applications with many small cables, which should be respectively separated from each other by a separator, the separator with narrow base Part No. 483 can be used. The separators 401 and 483 can be used both on e-chains® as well as on energy tubes from the series listed above.

With the various elements of the interior separation, the e-chains® and energy tubes can be divided both vertically and horizontally. Side plates and shelves allow a flexible separation structure. Shelves of various widths can be arranged in steps of 7mm on 7 levels. You can find recommendations for assignment in the "Design" chapter.
For installing the open height slot separators, the top and bottom slots cannot be used for shelves.
Examples of interior separation:

For a very finely divided solution, height slot separator Part No. 418 are used. However, these cannot be integrated into existing shelving without removingthe interior separation system The height slot separator Part No. 419, which is open on one side, can be retrofitted without removing the existing interior separation system. (Does not apply to shelves in the upper or lower-most notches)

4. Individual attachment without C-profile
5. Profile rail length

Guide troughs are used for applications where the upper run of the e-chain® glides on the lower run. When using the igus® guide trough made of steel, the following components are required. Guide trough without glide bars part no. 94.30, guide trough with glide bars part no. 94.31, assembly sets as butt connectors part no. 94.50. XX
.XX indicates the length of the C-profiles on which the guide trough will be mounted. The standard length of the trough parts and glide bars is 2m. The required length of guide trough is determined by the travel length.
