The includes gearheads for high precision control of ATC magazines, ATC arms, APC, and turret drives of lathe machining centers. Series

RA Series characteristics and structure High reliability High rigidity High precision High torque Heavy load support The double-ended support design and unique pin gear mechanism provide the following advantages: (1) Capable of high shock load 5 times the rated torque (2) High torsional rigidity (3) Small backlash [1 arc.min] (4) High torque density (capable of high torque with downsized gear) A set of internal main bearings (large angular ball bearings) enables complete support of heavy external loads. 1. Compact design with a reduced number of Two benefits parts Warranty due to the 2. Reduced...

Principle of operation 1. Rotation of the servomotor is transmitted through the Fig. 1. First reduction section input gear to the spur gears, and the speed is reduced according to the gear ratio between the input gear and the spur gears. 2. Since the crankshafts are directly connected to the spur gears, they have the same rotational speed as the spur gears. Spur gear 3. Two RV gears are mounted around the needle bearings on the eccentric section of the crankshaft. (In order to balance the equal amount of force, two RV gears are mounted.) 4. When the crankshafts rotate, the two RV gears mounted...

Note: 1. The rating table shows the specification values of each individual reduction gear. 2. The allowable output speed may be limited by heat depending on the operating rate. Make sure that the surface temperature of the reduction gear does not exceed 60°C during use. 3. For the inertia moment of the reduction gears, refer to the Product Summary Sheet. 4. When the reduction gear is used at low temperatures, there will be a larger no-load running torque. Note this characteristic when selecting a motor. (Refer to “Low temperature characteristics” on page 32) 5. The allowable moment will differ...

Glossary Rated service life Torsional rigidity, lost motion, backlash The lifetime resulting from the operation with the rated torque and the rated output speed is referred to as the “rated service life”. When a torque is applied to the output shaft while the input shaft is fixed, torsion is generated according to the torque value. The torsion can be shown in the hysteresis curves. The value of b/a is referred to as “torsional rigidity”. The torsion angle at the mid point of the hysteresis curve width within ±3% of the rated torque is referred to as “lost motion”. The torsion angle when the torque...
