As an alternative to the Reverse BendRadius ( RBR ) solutions, the e-chain ® can also be rolled up in some applications. Circular movement | RBR | Application Rotating energy supply - the modular system for fast rotating applications with RBR For several years igus ® has been developing customised systems for circular movements with e-chains ® , to o ff er rotating energy supply systems. As a result rotating systems can be supplied with energy, data and liquids for themachine tool industry, in robotics, in bucket wheel excavators and ship cranes. The rotating energy supply systems consist of an e-chain ® with a Reverse Bend Radius ( RBR ) and a guide trough system adapted to the e-chain ® and the circular motion. igus ® o ff ers both trough systems designed for specific projects and some dimensions as pre- engineered standard rotary modules. These guide trough systems consists of two circular guide elements. One part of the guide trough is attached to the static part of the system and the other part to the rotating part of the system. The fixed end of the e-chain ® can be freely placed, as both the inside and outside parts of the rotary modules can be rotated. Reverse Bend Radius means that the e-chain ® can bend in two directions. Versions with Reverse Bend Radius ( RBR ) can be made for many igus ® e-chains ® by reworking the standard chain links. The RBR does not necessarily need to be identical to the normal bend radius ( R ) of an e-chain ® . A wide range of circular movements can be achieved with the RBR option. ● Maximum rotation angle in minimal installation space ● Minimum displacement forces and maximum service life ● Modular construction with standardised mounting options ● Integrated strain relief and cable guidance directly in the guide trough ● Determine the rotating energy supply quickly and easily using the CAD configurator X www.igus.eu/ r br -configurator ● Depending on the application in question, the e-chains ® glide on surfaces made of plastic, stainless steel or galvanised steel and are guided by special channels in a predefined circular movement. ● Failsafe cables for rotary guide systems X www.igus.eu/chainflex Guide trough systems RM and MRM for rotation angle up to 900° and high loads X Page 132 Technical data - circular movement RBR Max. angle of rotation 540° For higher rotation angles up to 900° Multi Rotation Module (MRM) X Page 132 v max 2m/s Depending on the application, please check with igus ® a max 20m/s 2 Depending on the application, please check with igus ® Bend radius R Reverse Bend Radius RBR The right guide trough for an RBR e-chain ® - everything from one source
