Energy chains are the most modular way of safely transferring energy, data, fluids and air. Whether horizontally, vertically along all axes or in a circle. igus energy chains fulfil this requirement 100 per cent. Various systems for rotary and spiral movements can be selected, and properties such as modularity, versatility and a high degree of stability ensure dependability.
Alternatives to the slip ring:
As our energy chain systems are equipped without slip rings, media such as air, oil or water can easily be transferred without any interruption.

Energy chains for rotary movements from igus are used in various applications: The twisterchain is popular in the field of robotics. The twisterband is the perfect solution for rotary movements up to 7,200° in the tightest spaces. If more space is required for cables, we recommend using an RBR rotating energy supply system. e-spool is often used in theatre and stage technology applications.
