RBR rotating energy supply application examples

The RBR rotating energy supply system is suitable for high-speed applications with a maximum rotation angle in a very small installation space. Rotation angle of up to 540° (in one plane), speed of up to 360°/s, lighter and more compact than static guide troughs.
Typical industries and application areas:
offshore, stacker/reclaimer, bucket-wheel excavators, rotary cranes, other rotating applications

Bucket wheel reclaimer

This bucket wheel reclaimer also has to be equipped with a assembling of +/-180° which can move in a circle. The e-chains® have to acced this movement.

Maritime crane

Changed crane supply on an installation vessel: An XXL energy chain with a rearward bendingradius shall ensure the power and signal supply as an alternative to a slip ring.

Frankonia test laboratory

An igus rotary module with a diameter of 5.90 metres is used in electromagnetic compatibility test laboratories for supplying energy

Tunnel boring machine

This machine moves deeply through the earthand is used to drill tunnels using the excavationby mining technique.

Rotating energy supply in the radar system

Rotating energy supply systems in the azimuth axis, double chain system on the elevation axis: energy safely guided in the GESTRA radar system for space debris search. Awarded the silver vector 2020.

Hydraulic operating table: energy supply for height adjustment in confined spaces

To control andsupply the lying surface area, data and electrical cables, including hydraulic hoses, are run along the column.

Wind tunnel scales

These scales which are used for tests in the wind tunnel can be turned through 180° in both directions away from their original position.

Drilling platform

High costs, numerous manual processes anda high safety risk for workers. A new robotsupportedsolution compensates all these negativefactors associated with working on anoil drilling platform

The RBR rotating energy supply system

A system for fast-rotating applications. An e-chain® with a reverse bend radius ensures a maximum rotation angle in a very small installation space.
