Using an innovative bearing system, the DRRD actuator can handle higher loads with ‘exceptional’ accuracy, enabling engineers and OEMs to improve the performance of their equipment.
In addition, integrated external shock absorbers increase the maximum mass moment of inertia by up to four times compared with previous technologies. As a result, engineers can move higher loads with greater dynamics or specify a smaller drive to move the same load, therefore saving space and cost in their machine.
“At Festo, we have extensive knowledge of the challenges faced in handling applications and have developed the new DRRD rotary drive with an excellent price/performance ratio,” said Nigel Dawson, product manager at Festo. “The high stiffness, precision, in-built shock absorbers and external damping options mean that the DRRD can turn higher loads than alternative drive systems and stop more accurately, bringing rotation function to a new high level of performance and flexibility.”
