Rotary module – rotation angle of up to 6,480°
The new CRM rotary module is lighter and more compact than stationary guide troughs. It enables rotation angles of up to 6,480° in a minimum of installation space. The guidance of different cable types (power, signal, fibre optic, pneumatic, oil) is possible. There is no need for interference-prone and inflexible rotary unions, and installation is simple and ready-to-install.
Potential areas of application:
- General mechanical and plant engineering
- Production systems/material handling
- Machine tools
- Industrial robots
- Medical technology
- Wind power plants
- Amusement rides/amusement parks
- Satellite telescopes/antennas
Tech up
- No slip ring: can be fitted with any type of cable
(power, data, air or liquids) - Can also be fitted with corrugated tubes
- Small installation space, very flat
- Rotation angle up to 6,480° (depending on system)
- Splash-proof due to uninterruptible
guide
Cost down
- Cost-effective in case of repair (replacement of individual
components possible) - Adaptable to technological developments through
simple replacement of the cable used
Proof
- Tested in the igus laboratory: igus test laboratory on 5,500m² - proven, predictable, tried and tested
Sustainability
- No additional copper components
in the system (except copper in the cable). Parts are reusable - Less raw material required due to partial repair option instead of total replacement
- Have your energy or drag chain recycled at the end
of its life cycle through the igus Chainge recycling programme. No matter which manufacturer. You will receive a voucher for this: Chainge recycling programme
Technical data
3 sizes: Depending on the cable diameter
| Part No. | Cable diameter | Angle of rotation | Necessary rotary module cable length |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRM.250.08.01 | 5mm - 8mm | 6,480° | 4.5m |
| CRM.250.11.01 | 8mm - 11mm | 4,320° | 3.3m |
| CRM.250.15.01 | 11mm - 15mm | 2,160° | 2.4m |
Total cable length: Cable length rotary module + projection FE (connection source)
Example: CRM.250.11.01 ➔ Total cable length: 3.3m + 5m (projection FE) = 8.3 metres
Test: CRM rotary module and TB12 twisterband clearance height
igus has compared the CRM rotary module and the twisterband in a comparison test in its largest test laboratory in the industry. Both series were assessed in terms of their clearance height at the same rotation angle of 6,480°
Result: Compared to the twisterband, the rotary module CRM requires less clearance height at the same rotation angle of 6,480°. The clearance height of the rotary module is approx. 99mm and the twisterband TB12 is approx. 260mm.
