Linear retraction system - RSEL and RSSL

Up to 350mm retraction length based on elastomer bands (RSEL) or tension springs (RSSL)

Industrial robot with triflex R energy chain in the igus test laboratory.

Avoid loops forming on the robot head with the RSEL or RSSL retraction system. The two systems have been specifically designed for automotive production for robots with medium to high working loads. The compact dimensions of the system and the close guidance of the e-chain® on the robot also reduce the working area of the robot to a minimum.

Product information on the RSEL & RSSL

triflex R RSEL and RSSL articulated arm with two mounting flanges.

Cost-optimised retraction system compared to the RSE linear
Thanks to its standard dimensions and very compact design, the RSEL and RSSL retraction system can be mounted directly on the 3rd axis of all common robot types
Easy to retrofit
Prevents the hanging e-chain
e-chain® from influencing or blocking the movement
Can also be used for highly dynamic applications
Short type of up to 656 mm
For robots with high and medium payloads
The fixed end of the e-chain® can be freely selected thanks to the linear design

Dimensions RSEL & RSSL

The dimension A, B and C changes according to the selected chain size index
Both systems are available in sizes 60, 65, 70, 85 and 100

The difference between TR.RSEL and TR.RSSL

The TR.RSEL and TR.RSSL do not differ in terms of dimensions or appearance. The big difference lies inside the systems. Find out which one it is and why.

The part number. TR.RSEL.60 stands for triflex® (TR) and R(etraction) S(ystem) E(lastic) L(inear) in chain size 60.
In this system, the retraction force is realised via elastomer bands, which ensures a smooth and consistent retraction force.
The elastomer straps have already proved their worth with the large or longer brother, the linear retraction system TR.RSE. The reduction in length and material in the TR.RSEL ensures corresponding cost savings.

In the TR.RSSL.60, the letters and numbers stand for triflex® (TR) and R(etraction) S(ystem) S(pring) L(inear) in chain size 60.
Instead of Elstomer straps, the retraction force is realised via spring elements. The use of springs provides greater independence from oil or oil vapours, which could possibly have an influence on the elastomer belts due to the many different compositions. If oil or oil vapours do not play a role in your application, we recommend the TR.RSEL due to its smoother running.
