Assembly tips for triflex R energy chains
13/01/2012 Email to a friend   Comment on this article

igus UK's triflex R energy chains are designed for use in robotic and other 3D multi-axis applications.

To create a product, users simply need to hold the two parts together at the inner radius, attach the ball and socket feature situated inside each link, and press and click the parts together.

By slotting a regular Allen key between the connected ball and socket clips and gently applying a twist and lift action, the attached links can be separated with ease. Its 'push-in' cable filling design also allows the cables to be inserted and fitted easily from the outside.

The igus triflex R energy chain is said to be lightweight, cost-effective, have a high torsional stability and a small bend radius and pitch.
