System triflex® R Series TRC.30

1. Multi-axis movement - High flexibility for complex applications even on the 6th axis. Rotation of approx. ± 10° per chain link along the longitudinal axis. This facilitates cable routing around difficult geometric shapes
2. High tensile force absorption due to the special "ball and socket" joint, meaning smooth movements in all axes with a tested tensile strength of up to 50 N
3. Outstanding mechanical characteristics - impact-proof, dirt-repellent, robust, abrasion-proof and chip-proof. Slides over edges whilst protecting cables due to smooth outer and inner contours. Tested for more than 1 million cycles in the igus® laboratory
4. Small bend radius and pitch - For space-saving installation
5. Easy to lengthen and shorten - one injection-moulded component, requiring little effort to assemble. No additional elements (steel cables, spring mechanisms, etc.) necessary for retraction
6. Extremely stable due to external stop-dogs, defined limits for radius and torsion
7. Minimise set-up times by very easy installation onto your machine and comprehensive range of accessories

When to use Series TRC.30:

If a secure energy supply is required for multi-axis movements
If high torsion resistance is required
If the system must be easy to lengthen and shorten
If a small bend radius is required
If high tensile strength absorption is important
If a smooth and robust outer contour is required to avoid snagging

When not to use Series TRC.30:

For circular movements with high loads
twisterchain® system
If an easy-to-fill variant is required
triflex® R TRE system
When a cost-effective, less sophisticated 3D solution is required
, triflex® R TRL system
