With the new generation of new twisterchain® circular chains, significantly improved smoothness coupled with higher stability could be achieved. The new twisterchain® is modular in width, height and radius and can therefore be used very flexibly in applications where rotary motions up to 540° and more as well as rugged solutions are required.

• Sturdier, more additional load possible
• 25% less weight than the previous twisterchain®
• Rotary speeds up to 1 m/s and more
• Rotary/Spiral movements up to 540°
• Highly dynamic and quiet operation (with a new trough)
• More cable-friendly, smoother interior
• Snap-open crossbars in the inner radius
• Over 1 million cycles tested successfully in the igus® laboratory (03/2010)

• Robots, handling machines
• Packaging machines
• Glass machines
• General mechanical engineering etc

twisterchain® new for circular motions up to 540°, snap-open crossbars in the inner radius   The cable-optimized intermediate link tremendously increases the stability of the new twisterchain®. At the same time it serves as an interior separator and divides the filling space into two chambers.   Y = Max. additional load [kg/m]  A = new generation twisterchain® new  B = old version twisterchain® Classic 100% more additional load with the new generation of the igus® twisterchain® new
