twisterband - rotary movements in a very small space

Compact, modular, cost-effective, twistable up to 7,000°*

Rotary movements in the smallest of spaces - 20 times around its own axis. The extremely compact twisterband enables cost-effective, low-wear and low-maintenance rotary movements to be realised in the tightest of spaces while safely guiding energy, data and media.

7,000°* and more rotary movement horizontally and up to 3,000° in vertical installation position
Rotational speeds of up to 180°/s possible
Compact, modular and lightweight
Belts can be shortened as required
Extremely small installation spaces, very slim design around rotary axis
Can be used in various installation positions (horizontal, vertical, upside down)
Cost-effective
Easy to fill
Ideal in combination with chainflex® cable for rotary movements in very confined installation spaces
5 sizes available

Size overview

Calculation: number of strips depends on angle of rotation

(Please always round up the number of bands)
TB12: XX ≈ rotation angle / 360 + 2

Example: XX ≈ 1200° / 360 + 2
Result: XX ≈ 6 bands

TB20: XX ≈ angle of rotation / 340 + 2

Example: XX ≈ 1200° / 340 + 2
Result: XX ≈ 6 bands

TB29: XX ≈ angle of rotation / 180 + 2

Example: XX ≈ 720° / 180 + 2
Result: XX ≈ 6 bands

TB30: XX ≈ angle of rotation / 180 + 2

Example: XX ≈ 1200° / 180 + 6
Result: XX ≈ 13 bands

Special specification of the twisterband

Film hinge: Easy access and quick filling with cable and hose (TB20.44.18, TB30)

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

A central shaft must be installed for horizontal orientation angles of rotation above 1500°
