Rotary motions in machinery can be
tricky when managing cables and hoses. In order to protect and guide them
safely, igus has expanded its range of energy chains for rotary motion with a
"heavy duty" version of its twisterband. The new twisterband HD is an
even stronger, compact, spiral-shaped energy chain for circular motion, with
rotations of up to 20 rotations possible.
igus has developed the twisterband HD for guiding energy, data and
media cables to give operational and functional reliability in rotary motions
with high loads. It combines the design features and qualities of the proven
twisterchain, a circular energy chain for rotary motion up to a maximum of 360
degrees, with its twisterband, the winner of the Red Dot Design Award. The new
twisterband HD combines the strength and stability of the chain with the
compactness, flexibility and the rotation angle of the band and therefore fills
a gap between the two igus products.

To deliver the "Heavy Duty" (HD) in the new
"twisterband HD", the designers at igus have reinforced the band
segments significantly and constructed it for more strength and stability. On
the other hand, a hinge was developed for the connection of the individual
segments, so that the twisterband HD withstands extreme loads with exceptional
flexibility and rotational mobility (up to 20 times around its own axis). By using
this design to connect the elements, the individual parts can be injection-moulded
from the standard igus material for e-chains. The twisterband HD is optimised
for temperatures below 0°C and therefore suitable for outdoor use.
Compact
design for cable protection in the smallest installation spaces
The twisterband
HD guarantees high strength with minimal installation space requirements. The
outer diameter of this product is just 300mm, the height starts at 250mm and
varies according to the required rotation angle upward. Due to the innovative design,
high angles of rotation are possible: horizontally to around 7,000 degrees and
vertically to around 3,000 degrees. The design principle also open up the
potential for larger versions. But despite this rotational capability, the
cables are always well protected. Combined tests with chainflex cables in the
igus' in-house lab arrived at a service life of one million rotary cycles and
more. The predefined minimum bending radius contributes towards this,
preventing damage to cables. The special hinge design enables a fast filling
from the outside. Together with the tribo-optimised high-performance plastic of
the band, a long service life is ensured even under difficult ambient
conditions such as temperatures from -40°C to +80°C. Technically advanced, yet
inexpensive, the twisterband HD is the ideal, low wear and low maintenance
solution for carrying cables in rotary applications, encased in a compact and tough
guiding system.
