RD SERIES

Features and Configurations

High shock load
capability
High rigidity
High precision
High torque

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

  • Capable of 5 times the rated torque
  • High torsional rigidity
  • Low backlash [1 arc.min]
  • High torque density (capable of high torque with downsized gear)
  • Capable of high reduction ratio (MAX I = 258:1)
Heavy load support

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

Maximum ease of use
  • The hollow shaft structure that allows routing of cables through the reduction gear
  • Pre-greased
  • Coupling and motor flange provide easy motor mounting

Principle of Operation

Rotation of the servo motor is transmitted through the input gear to the large center gear, and is then transmitted through the small center gear to the spur gear. At this point, the speed is reduced accordingly to the gear ratio between the small center gear and the spur gear. This operation is carried out in the First reduction section.

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

Two RV gears are mounted around the needle bearings on the eccentric region 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 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.

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.
