New generation - twisterchain® new - robust, quiet, for high loads

Higher loads and smoother running
With the new generation of twisterchain® new circular chains, it has been possible to achieve significantly smoother running combined with greater stability. The twisterchain® new has a modular design in terms of width, height and radius and can therefore be used very flexibly in applications where rotational movements of up to 540° and more as well as robust solutions are required.

• More stable, more additional load possible
• 25% less weight than previous twisterchain®
• Rotational speeds of up to 1 m/s and more
• Rotary/spiral movements up to 540°
• Highly dynamic and quiet running (with new trough)
• Cable-friendly, smooth interior
• Crossbar can be opened in the inner radius
• Successfully tested over 1 million cycles in the igus®® laboratory (03/2010)

Typical industries and applications

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