Roller Drive

RU series

Overview

With the RollerDrive RU Series, a servomotor is mechanically reduced while maintaining powerful torque, rigidity and stability. An output motion faithful to input control commands can be attained by achieving zero-backlash with our unique preloaded mechanism. This is a revolutionary FA motion control unit, which combines rolling transmission for high-efficiency and elimination of wear, an orthogonal layout of input and output axes for greater compactness, and standard features like a large diameter hollow shaft for greater ease-of-use.

Features

Heavy-duty drive with a compact motor
Our product lineup includes high gear ratio reducers that use proprietary reducer gears to deliver heavy torque using a small servomotor. Gear ratios are 1/20, 1/60 (RU40 comes with 1/15 or 1/45)

High rigidity
The internal structure was redesigned with a cast ironhousing and heavy-duty output bearing for high rigidity.

Flexible Servomotor Options
Compatible with a wide range of servomotor sizes (for each brand).
Servomotors are coupling-mounted for installation. Easy to install even for first-time users.

Suitable for Use in Harsh Environments
We offer a water-proof and dust-proof option that uses a special seal for protection against washdown and dust-prone environments.
