The new generation of twisterchain®: rugged & quiet for high loads

With the new generation of new twisterchain circular chains, significantly improved smoothness coupled with higher stability could be achieved. The new twisterchain is modular in width, height and radius and can therefore be used very flexibly in applications where rotary motions up to 540° and more as well as rugged solutions are required.
Diagram twisterchain new for circular motions up to 540°, snap-open crossbars in the inner radius
Diagram The cable-optimized intermediate link tremendously increases the stability of the new twisterchain. At the same time it serves as an interior separator and divides the filling space into two chambers.

Higher loads and smoother running

With the new generation of new twisterchain circular chains, significantly improved smoothness coupled with higher stability could be achieved. The new twisterchain is modular in width, height and radius and can therefore be used very flexibly in applications where rotary motions up to 540° and more as well as rugged solutions are required.

New guide trough system - type 01

The new Twister guide trough minimizes the previously time-consuming alignment. Assembly time is reduced from 6h to 2h. While reducing noise levels, travel speed can be increased, thanks to an almost all plastic design.
Circular motions possible up to 540° (with special mounting parts)
