CRM rotary module

Rotary module – rotation angle of up to 6480 °

The new CRM rotary module is lighter and more compact than static guide troughs, for example. It enables rotation angles of up to 6480° in a minimum of installation space. The guidance of different cable types (power, signal, fibre optic cable, pneumatics, oils) is possible. There is no need for interference-prone and inflexible rotary feedthroughs and installation is simple and ready-to-install.

Possible areas of application:

  • General mechanical and plant engineering
  • Production systems / material handling
  • Machine tools
  • Industrial robots
  • Medical technology
  • Wind power plants
  • Amusement rides / amusement parks
  • Satellite telescopes/antennas

Tech up

  • No slip ring: can be fitted with any type of cable
    (power, data, air or liquids)
  • Can also be fitted with corrugated conduits
  • Small installation space, very flat
  • Rotation angle up to 6,480° (depending on system)
  • Splash-proof thanks to uninterruptible
    guidance
Cost down

Reduce costs

  • cost-effective in case of repair (replacement of individual
    components possible)

Sustainability

sustainability

  • No additional copper components
    in the system (except line copper) Parts are reusable
  • Less raw material required due to partial repair option instead of total replacement
  • Have your energy chain or cable carrier recycled at the end
    of its life cycle in the igus® Chainge® recycling programme. No matter which manufacturer. You will receive a voucher for this: chainge® programme

Test: CRM rotary module and TB12 twisterband clearance height

Test: clearance height

igus® compared the rotary module CRM and the twisterband in its largest test laboratory in the industry. Both series were assessed in terms of their clearance height at the same rotation angle of 6480°

Result: Compared to the twisterband, the rotary module CRM requires less clearance height at the same rotation angle of 6480°. The clearance height of the rotary module is approx. 99 mm and that of the twisterband TB12 is approx. 260 mm.
