Reid Tool (http://www.reidtool.com ) 2000 catalog has them on page
319 called an "IGUS Energy Chain System".

Also (for the guys looking for ballscrew covers), at the bottom of the page
are round and rectangular polyurethane bellows in 12" and 24" lengths.
Not really cheap, you might want to try 2" or 3" dia (clothes) dryer venting
instead which comes in about 10 foot lengths and is under $15.
