twisterband - rotary movements in a very small space

Compact, modular, cost-effective, twistable up to 7,000°*

Rotary movements in a very small space - 20 times round its own axis. With the very compact igus twisterband, rotations can be achieved cost-effectively with low wear and very little maintenance, even in confined spaces, whereby energy, data and media can still be supplied reliably.

  • 7,000°* and more horizontal rotary movement and up to 3,000° in the vertical installation position°* and more horizontal rotary movement and up to 3,000° in the vertical installation position
  • Rotary speeds up to 180°/s possible
  • Compact, modular and light
  • Strips can be shortened as required
  • Minimum installation spaces, fits tightly around the rotary axis
  • Can be used reliably in various installation positions (horizontal, vertical, upside down)
  • Cost-effective
  • Easy filling
  • Ideal in combination with chainflex cables for rotary movements in very limited installation spaces
  • Five sizes available

Size overview

Twisterband sizes and cross-sections with dimensions for different TB models.
Twisterband sizes and cross-sections with dimensions for different TB models.

Calculation: number of strips depends on angle of rotation

(Always round up the number of strips)
TB12: XX ≈ Angle of rotation/360 + 2

  • Example: XX ≈ 1200°/360 + 2
  • Result: XX ≈ 6 strips

TB20: XX ≈ Angle of rotation/340 + 2

  • Example: XX ≈ 1200°/340 + 2
  • Result: XX ≈ 6 strips

TB29: XX ≈ Angle of rotation/180 + 2

  • Example: XX ≈ 720°/180 + 2
  • Result: XX ≈ 6 strips

TB30: XX ≈ Angle of rotation/180 + 2

  • Example: XX ≈ 1200°/180 + 6
  • Result: XX ≈ 13 strips

Special properties of the twisterband

Twisterband cable guidance system with curved links in a spiral shape.

Film hinge: easy access and fast filling with cables and hoses (TB20.44.18, TB30)

Twisterband with 360° and 3000° rotational capability shown.

As a rule of thumb, the maximum rotation angle is: for each 180° hinge = 360° more rotation

Twisterband cable protection with two connected chain bundles and an orange separator.

A central shaft must be installed for horizontal orientation angles of rotation above 1,500°

Circular cable management module with segmented flaps.

igus twisterband: extremely small installation spaces, fits very closely around the rotary axis

Compact, modular and cost-effective - Horizontal: 7,000°* and more feasible, vertical up to 3,000° rotary movement in the smallest of spaces

Twisterband cable carrier with an arrow showing the direction of movement.

Can be used in different installation positions: here, horizontal 7,000°* and more rotary movement in extremely small space. Limited length compensation possible

*Rotary movements up to 3,600° can be ordered from stock. Above 3,600°, please contact your igus representative.
