igus twisterband HD energy chain

The igus twisterband HD is an energy chain designed so that cables and hoses can be guided safely and reliably even during rotary movements. It is said to be very stable, easy to fill and can even cope with rotating speeds of up to 180 degrees per second around its own axis.

With the twisterband, rotary movements up to 7000 degrees are possible on the horizontal plane and 3000 degrees on the vertical plane in an extremely small space, even at speeds of up to 180 degrees per second. Slip rings can therefore be replaced in the case of a limited rotation angle. Different media lines as well as bus cables or even fluids can be guided with one system easily, cost-effectively and without any interruption. The inner compact heights of the new sizes are 11 and 18 mm — optimal for very small installation spaces such as in rotary tables or on robots.

The twisterband HD is very slim, light and fits closely around its own axis of rotation. The energy chain consists of individual chain links that can be connected to each other by means of a pin-and-hook principle. This results in a defined bend radius and simultaneously ensures greater stability. The energy supply solution is made of maintenance-free tribo-polymers into which a fibreglass-reinforced material has been worked. As a result, the twisterband HD has a longer service life.
