CRM rotary module
Rotary module – rotation angle of up to 6480 °
The new CRM rotary module is lighter and more compact than 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.
Potential application areas:

Tech up
- No slip ring: works with every kind of service
(electricity, data, air or fluids) - Can also be equipped with corrugated tubes
- Small installation space, very low profile
- Rotation angle up to 6,480° (depending on system)
- Resistant to water splashes due to uninterrupted
guide
Cost down
- Cost-effective in case of repair (replacement of individual
components possible) - Adaptable to technological development due to
simple replacement of the used cable
Sustainability
- No additional copper components
in the system (apart from copper in cable). Parts are reusable - Less raw material required thanks to the option of partial repair instead of complete replacement
- Have your energy chain recycled as part of the igus "chainge recycling programme" at the end
of its life cycle. Irrespective of the manufacturer. You can receive a voucher: chainge programme - igus supports the circular economy of plastics and invests in chemical recycling
Technical data
Three sizes: dependent on cable diameter
| 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 |
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 metres

Test: CRM rotary module and TB12 twisterband clearance height
The results showed that, given the same rotation angle (6480 ), the CRM rotary module requires a lower clearance height that the twisterband. The rotary module's clearance height is approx. 99mm, while the TB12 twisterband's is approx. 260 mm.
Application example with rotary modules
