Hollow Rotary Actuator

Simplified Wiring and Piping:The hollow center allows for the passage of cables, pneumatic lines, and even optical fibers through the actuator.This eliminates the need for external routing, reducing clutter and potential interference.Equipment can be designed with a smaller footprint due to the reduced need for space around the actuator for wiring and piping.

Reduced Assembly Time and Parts Count:The hollow flange design allows for direct mounting of loads, eliminating the need for couplings or other connecting parts. This reduces the number of components, simplifying assembly and reducing the potential for errors. Reduced parts count also translates to lower costs and less maintenance.

Enhanced Precision and Stability:By eliminating the need for external couplings and transmission mechanisms, hollow rotary actuators minimize the impact of component rigidity and assembly errors on accuracy.This leads to more precise and repeatable positioning.

Compact and Lightweight Design:The integrated design, with the motor and hollow output table, results in a more compact unit compared to traditional designs using separate components.This is especially beneficial in applications where space is limited.

Increased Flexibility and Design Options:The hollow center provides flexibility in how the actuator is integrated into the overall system. For example, equipment tables or arms can be mounted directly onto the hollow output table, simplifying the design and reducing the need for custom mounting solutions.

Improved Rigidity and Load Capacity:Some hollow rotary actuators, like the DGII series from Oriental Motor, utilize cross-roller bearings for high rigidity and load capacity.This allows for handling of heavier loads and withstanding higher moment loads.
