The Ideal Cable Carrier Solution for Circular Motion

Industries: Cable reels, Machine tools, Robots (robot arms, 1/6 axis, scara robots), Leisure rides, medical equipment, radar and telescope equipment, aerospace, test, measurement, handling, lifting and installation equipment, wind turbines (e.g. blade adjustment); wherever rotary unions are used.

Benefits

  • Minimum installation space - very lean installation around the rotating axis
  • Can be reliably used in various installation orientations (horizontal or vertical)
  • Low-cost
  • Easily filled
  • Ideal in combination with igus® chainflex® cables for rotary motions in very limited installation spaces
  • Available in 5 dimensions
  • 7,000°* and more horizontal rotary motion, and up to 3,000° in the vertical installation orientation
  • Rotary speeds up to 360°/s are conceivable
  • Compact, modular and lightweight
  • Bands can be shortened easily

Circular Motion

Maximum angle of rotation as a rule of thumb: Hinge for each 180° = 360° more rotation

An axis is to be centrally installed for angles of rotation

Rotary movements in minimum space - 20 times on its own axis

With the very compact igus® twisterband, rotations can be implemented economically, withlow wear and low maintenance in a confined space and therefore reliably guide energy,data and media.

twisterband application examples

When to use twisterband:

Circular motions up to a total of 7,000° (Vertical installation orientation: up to 3,000°, horizontal: 7,000° and more possible)

  • Realizable in the smallest space
  • Rotary speeds up to 180°/s are conceivable
  • Available in 5 dimensions
  • Partially available with interior separation (depends on Series)
  • Very easy to fill, with snap-openintegral hinges or "easy" design system (according to the series)
  • Limited length compensation possible

When should I take a different series?
