RA SERIES

Features and Configurations

High shock load capability
High rigidity
High precision
High torque

The double-ended support design and unique pin gear mechanism
provide the following advantages:

  • Capable of high shock load 5 times the rated torque
  • High torsional rigidity
  • Small backlash [1 arc.min]
  • High torque density (capable of high torque with downsized gear)
Heavy load support

A set of internal main bearings (large angular ball bearings)
enables complete support of heavy external loads.

Three benefi ts
due to the
above features
  • Maintenance: Trouble free
  • Compact design with a reduced number of parts
  • Reduced man-hours (for design, assembly, and adjustment)

Principle of Operation

Rotation of the servo motor is transmitted through the input gear to the spur gears, and the speed is reduced according to the gear ratio between the input gear and the spur gears.

Since the crankshafts are directly connected to the spur gears, they have the same rotational speed as the spur gears.

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.)

When the crankshafts rotate, the two RV gears mounted on the eccentric sections also revolve eccentrically around the input axis (crank movement).

Pins are arrayed in a constant pitch in the grooves inside the case. The number of pins is just one larger than the number of RV gear teeth.

As the crankshafts revolve one complete rotation, the RV gears revolve eccentrically one pitch of a pin (crank movement), with all the RV teeth in contact with all of the pins. As a result, 1 RV gear tooth moves in the opposite direction of the crankshaft rotation.

The rotation is then output to the shaft (output shaft) via the crankshaft so that the crankshaft rotation speed can be reduced in proportion to the number of pins.

The total reduction ratio is the product of the first reduction ratio multiplied by the second reduction ratio.
