Regulate the retraction force pneumatically and prevent loop formation on robots

Pneumatic retraction system for multi-axis robot applications. Extension lengths of 780 mm enable a secure guidance of the cables and hoses, even with large arm diameters and very complex movements. The retraction forces can be infinitely adjusted with a pneumatic cylinder. Light or heavy fill weights, long or short robot arms – the RSP retraction system can be used to adjust the retraction force to the individual application.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, the RS retraction or RSP?

It depends on what you need for your application. The RSP allows for a greater retraction force over the RS system.

Which axis is this retraction suitable for?

Axis 3-6 on industrial robots

What is the maximum size energy chain that can be used with this retraction system?

The RSP system is designed to be able to take chains up to Ø 125mm with no restrictions.
