Rotary module

Rotary module – rotation angle of up to 6480 °

The new CRM rotary module is lighter and more compact than, for instance, static guide troughs. It allows a rotation angle of up to 6480 ° and requires minimal installation space. Various types of cable (power, signal, FOC, pneumatic, oils) can be guided. Rotary unions that are inflexible and susceptible to faults are eliminated, allowing a simple, ready-to-install unit.

Possible areas of application:
General machine and plant engineering, Production plants / Material Handling, Machine tools, Industrial robots, Medical technology, Wind power stations, Rides / Theme Park, Satellite-telescopes/antennas

Tech up

The rotary module can be fitted with any type of cable.

Cost down

No slip ring
Cost-effective in case of repair (replacement of individual components possible)
Can be adapted to technological developments by means of simple replacement of the cables used.

Proof

Cables can be replaced within minutes

Sustainability

Replacing the cables does not mean that the
entire system must be replaced
To recycle integrated energy chain through the igus chainge program free of charge

Technical data

Total length: rotary module cable length + FE projection (connection source)
Example: CRM.250.11.01 ➔ Total cable length: 3.3m + 5m (FE projection) = 8.3 meters

Part No.	Cable diameter	Angle of rotation	Necessary rotary module cable length
CRM.250.08.01	5mm - 8mm	6480°	4,5m
CRM.250.11.01	8mm - 11mm	4320°	3,3m
CRM.250.15.01	11mm - 15mm	2160°	2,4m
