Zero-backlash Technology
Delivers Unsurpassed "Motion".
In FA equipment, servo-driven motion control systems play a major role in defining the performance of the equipment. Machine specifications and performance requirements are developed assuming the given system can produce the expected motion. However, if the motion control system has backlash, lacks rigidity, or has other control instabilities, the output motion will deviate from the control input and make it difficult to achieve the expected performance.Delivers Unsurpassed "Motion".
The
Series mechanically reduces the speed of the servomotor while delivering powerful torque, rigidity, and stability. It features a unique preload mechanism that achieves zero backlash so that the output motion responds faithfully to input control references. Various features make this a revolutionary motion control unit for FA applications. Take for instance the high efficiency afforded by the rolling transfer of power, wearless design, compact packaging resulting from the right-angle input to output shaft layout, and the convenient, large-diameter hollow output shaft. 
Striving for True Quality Motions
With conventional motion equipment, the quality of motion was primarily assessed by its accuracy and rigidity in a static condition. In reality, accuracy and stability impacts the performance of FA equipment in motion just as much as it does in standstill conditions.
Backlash or poor responsiveness can degrade the dynamic accuracy of motion control equipment, preventing it from creating the motions intended by the control references.

High-speed Positioning
Settling time is instantaneous for precise positioning. Speed variation during motion is minimal for accurate synchronized operation. Virtually maintenance free for reduced life cycle cost of the entire FA system.
High-accuracy θ Axis Positioner
The output shaft of the has very minimal runout, which makes it suitable for precision θ-axis positioners and alignment tables. Its thin, compact design makes it ideal for X-Y stages and other positioning units as well.

Improved speed and reciprocating repeatability allows thin-profile drive layouts for compact integration. Piping and cables can easily be passed through the hollow bore in the large diameter output shaft.
Preload
Wedge-shape ribs on input shaft maintain contact with the roller followers under preload to completely remove backlash. Preload is adjusted by turning the adjustment mechanism on the input shaft.
Input Shaft
The steel alloy input shaft is made to meet extremely tight tolerances using the latest in machining theory and equipment. These shafts are balanced to suppress self-excited vibration under high speed rotation.
Roller Followers
Roller bearing construction transfers torque by the rolling action of the roller followers. Rolling contact maintains the initial accuracy, even for extended periods of use.
Oversized Hollow Output Shaft
The output shaft has an oversized hollow bore that allows easy passage of wiring and piping, or the shaft of another device, for extended design flexibility.
Cross Rollers
Cross roller bearings are used inside the output unit for increased rigidity and minimal runout.
Motor Shaft Clamp
The motor shaft is rigidly clamped to the input shaft of the reducer for a direct transfer of power from the motor. The motor base is designed to absorb error in alignment during assembly. (Patent pending)
