triflex® - For 2D and 3D movement, closed

The triflex® series was developed to guide cables safely during three-dimensional movement. In this case, the flexibility of a hose has been combined with the stability of an e-chain® with a fixed radius. The unique modular programme enables very complex movements. For example: combination of uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial moving chain links in an e-chain®.

More information

Closed and openable sections can be combined

Separate - lever up the side panel, twist slightly and then separate

Opening only series 352/353 - insert screwdriver into openings and lever open lid
