New generation - twisterchain new - Rugged, quiet, for high loads
The new generation of twisterchain new circular chains enabled significantly improved smooth running in combination with higher stability. The twisterchain new has a modular construction for width, height and radius, and therefore provides very flexible use in applications where rotary movements of up to 540° and more are required as well as in robust solutions.
- Stronger; higher fill weights possible
- 25% less weight than the previous twisterchain
- Rotary speeds of up to 1m/s or more
- Circular and spiral movements of up to 540°
- Highly dynamic and smoother running (with new trough)
- Smooth cable-friendly interior
- Crossbars openable along inner radius
- Successfully tested for 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.
twisterchain new for circular motions up to 540°, snap-open crossbars in the inner radius
The cable-optimised intermediate link increases the stability of the new twisterchain. At the same time it serves as an interior separator and divides the filling space into two chambers.
Notes on the design of the twisterchain new.

The new Twister guide trough minimizes the previously time-consuminng alignment. Assembly time is reduced from 6h to 2h. While reducing noise levels, travel speed can be increased, thanks to an almost all plastic design.
Circular motions possible up to 540° (with special mounting parts)
