triflex® RSE: Cable Management Linear Retraction Systems for Robots

Prevent deflection and avoid cable loops

As automated production becomes more diverse, demands on energy supply systems continue to grow. Robots must now guide not only electrical and pneumatic cables but also hoses for bolts, rivets and nails, often incompatible with tight bending radii. The triflex® RSE solves this with a simple, linear retraction system that eliminates bends, fibre rods and rollers, ensuring smooth, reliable operation. It is ideal for industrial robots with complex motion sequences, as well as applications involving laser light cables (LLC) and supply hoses.

The triflex® RSE retraction system is used to hold the e-chain® compactly on the robot arm, to prevent the hanging chain from influencing or blocking the movement of the robot.

Benefits:

Light, low cost compact design with no deflection reducing cable failures
Retraction force by elastic band
Maintenance and lubrication-free igus® drylin® W linear unit
Shorter cable lengths than deflected systems
290mm – 490mm retraction length
Available for triflex® R sizes from 40 - 100mm
