TwisterBand: new sizes

Rotary movements up to 3000° in smallest spaces. Compact, modular, economical

In order to implement rotary movements in the smallest space, and guide power, data and media safely, complicated and expensive rotary solutions came are usually needed.
With the very compact igus® rotating TwisterBand, rotations can now be guided and managed in very confined spaces cost-effectively with very low wear:

Rotary movements up to ± 1500°

Rotary speeds up to 360°/s possible

Compact, modular and lightweight

Ribbons can be shorten easily

Minimum installation space

Can be reliably used in various installation positions (horizontal or vertical)

Cost-effective

No guide required

Easily fillable

In combination with igus® Chainflex® cables for the smallest radii, the problem solver for rotary movements in very limited spaces

Delivery range and sizes

Project request (PDF)

Industries: Cable reels, Robots (robot arms, 1/6 axis, scara robots), Leisure rides, medical equipment, radar and telescope equipment, aerospace, test, measurement, handling, lifting and installation equipment, wind turbines (e.g. blade adjustment); wherever rotary unions are used.

The modular design allows the quick and easy assembly together of 180° E-Chains® hinges ...

... and the max. rotation angle can be increased. As a rule of thumb: Hinge for each 180° = 360° more rotation.

Fixed height and width for rotary movements, no guide required.

Complete system

Part no.: TB20.44.12.x.01.0
20 = Outer Ø
44 = Inner width Bi
12 = Inner height hi
x = Number of ribbons*
01 = Version
0 = Color

* Calculation number of ribbons acc. to rotating angle

x ≈ rotating angle ⁄ 340 +2, z.B. x ≈ 1200° ⁄ 340 +2, x ≈ 6 ribbons
