twisterchain® - e-chains® for rotary motion
For spiral movements, can be opened on both sides
The twisterchain® product line offers a wide selection for circular movements and is available in four sizes. twisterchain® is modular in width and radius, giving it flexibility in applications where rotary and spiral motion, high loads and high running smoothness are required.
twisterchain® systems are available with guide troughs, which provide guidance, reduced abrasion, and optimized smoothness.
Benefits:
- Stable, high additional loads possible, smooth running, weight-optimized
- Rotational speeds up to 1m/s and more
- Circular/spiral movements up to 360° from stock (or higher upon request)
- Cable-friendly, smooth interior can be opened crossbar in inner and outer radius
- Successfully tested over 1 million cycles in the igus® laboratory

twisterchain® applications
twisterchain® cable carriers are especially useful in the circular movement of the rotary axis of a 6-axis robot. Here it is used for a rotary movement of 180°. The twisterchain smoothly and securely guides the hose and cable while reducing abrasion risk.
