triflex® and Easy triflex® e-chain® for 3D motions

The triflex® series has been developed to safely guide cable during a 3D movement. In this case, the flexibility of a hose is combined with the stability of an e-chain® with a fixed, defined radius. This unique modular design enables very complex movements. Combination of chain links moving in single, double and triple axes are possible in an e-chain®.

Typical industrial sectors and applications:

Machine tools, robots, handling equipment, materials handling technology, plastics industry, construction machinery, vehicle manufacturing, general mechanical engineering, medical equipment, office furniture
triflex® assembly line, energy chains, igus® e-chain® Easy triflex® and E2 medium e-chain® in an assembly line
