twisterchain® - circular and spiral movements, can be opened on both sides
The twisterchain® product line offers a wide selection for circular movements and is available in four sizes. Modular in width and radius, therefore flexible in applications where rotary and spiral movements up to 360° and more with high loads and high running smoothness are required. twisterchain® applications are available with guide trough, which has the following advantages: guidance of the energy chain, reduced abrasion of the energy chain, optimum running smoothness, rotation angle up to 360° from stock.
- Stable, high additional loads possible, smooth running, weight-optimised
- Rotational speeds up to 1m/s and more
- Circular/spiral movements up to 360° from stock (up to 400° upon request)
- Cable-friendly, smooth interior can be opened crossbar in inner and outer radius
- Successfully tested over 1 million cycles in the igus® laboratory

twisterchain® generally valid
For machine elements that move in a circle both to the left and to the right, the rotation angle is calculated by adding the two angles.
AR = outer radius energy chain
X1 = Inner mechanical engineering
HF = e-chain® Height incl. 50mm free space
hi = inner height energy chain
IR = inner radius energy chain
X2 = Outer mechanical engineering
HH = e-chain® height
ha = outer height energy chain
R = bend radius energy chain
T = pitch
K = Surcharge for bend radius
α = rotation angle
Realised in practice: twisterchain in multiple robots
A twisterchain® proves its worth in the circular movement of the rotary axis of a multiple robot. Here it is used for a rotary movement of 180°. hose and cable are guided securely, abrasion is significantly reduced and running smoothness is increased.
