Link and link, or link and end link, connection forms a spherical surface with a loose fit.
This spherical surface allows 3D movement and torsional (rotational) movement. The link end face constrains the bending radius (R100).

1. List of models
| Model | Inner height | Inner width | Bending radius |
|---|---|---|---|
| FTP026 | 38 | 26 | 100 |
2. Features
- Cable/hose protection
- Cannot bend less than a certain bending radius. In addition, it prevents debris from infiltrating and does not damage cables/hoses.
- Simple structure and allows for cutting/connecting.
- Composed of links with the same shape. Allows for cutting/connecting and easy length adjustment.
- Lightweight, clean and quiet
- Uses engineering plastic for everything but the pins.
- Allows for 2D movement, and straight/free-standing arrangements are possible.
- 2D movement is possible by inserting pins, which prevents lateral buckling. In addition, mounting rings prevent bending and enable straight/free-standing arrangements.
3. Structures
Follows torsional movement.
Prevents lateral buckling.
Pins enable 2D movement.
Straight/free-standing arrangements are possible thanks to the mounting rings.
