Spinea’s DriveSpin (DS) range of ultra-compact and high-torque rotary positioning actuators integrate an AC servomotor and feedback device with the well-proven TwinSpin® high-load capacity reduction gear unit. Available from Heason Technology, the motion systems designer and integrator, the DS range has now been expanded to include a new variant that offers additional mounting possibilities. The DSM series features a special housing design with adaptable fixings for the direct and versatile mechanical interfacing of end effectors and other automation components without the need for adapters or support brackets. Its modular design also allows the simple assembly of self-supporting ‘kinematic’ modules by connecting DSM’s together.
Spinea’s TwinSpin reduction gear units feature a patented trochoidal gear reduction principle that is based on rotating outer and inner planetary gears supported in precision high load capacity needle roller bearings. The new DSM model is available in three frame sizes with square sections of 50, 70 and 110 mm in compact lengths (just 150 mm for the 70 mm frame option). An impressive specification includes continuous torque output from 18 Nm for the 50 mm model and up to 122 Nm for the 110 mm model – with acceleration and braking torque rated at 200% continuous torque.
