twisterchain® - circular and spiral movements, can be opened on both sides

Twisterchain cable carrier in a curved double spiral on a white background.

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.

Circular cable carrier with movement direction and bend radius dimensions.
Cable carrier with radius, marked R, T and K.
TW cable chain with IR, AR and H dimensions in the 2018 catalog.

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
