Guide Mechanism Type
●Angular Bearing
The angular bearing has a contact angle appropriate to receive a unidirectional axial load or a combined radial and axial load (see Fig. 1). To use this bearing as a guide system, set two bearings face-to-face on opposite sides. This arrangement provides rigidity for loads both in the radial and axial directions. | ![]() |
●Cross-Roller Bearing
In cross-roller bearing, quench hardened and precision ground bearing surfaces move upon loose hardened steel cylinders (rollers) with rotation axes oriented in alternating 90 degree angles (Ref. Fig.1). Having rollers arranged in an alternating cross pattern allows preloading and operation at any angle. The roller bearings are held apart from one another by a bearing cage, which prevents adjacent rollers from touching. Since cross-roller bearings have little difference between static and dynamic friction they minimize start-to-stop slip-motion typical of other bearing types. The line contact of roller bearings along with precise roller-to-race gap management provide larger load-bearing surfaces, higher preloads and meet very tight run out and stiffness specifications. | ![]() |
Feeding Mechanism
●Worm Shaft & Worm Wheel
The worm wheel is ground at high precision and the worm shaft was processed with a precision abrasive finish (see Fig. 3). | ![]() |
Resolution
Resolution of stage RA05A-W02, RA07A-W02, RA10A-W01, RA16A-WH01 are calculated based on the following formula. |
Δθs = Δθ / n・m |
●Tangent-Bar System (Ball Screw)
Rotary movement is generated by applying linear displacement to the bar tip extending from the rotary axis in the tangential direction by means of a ball screw.This is the optimum feed system when the rotation range is small but a fine rotary movement at a high resolution is required. |
Resolution
Resolution of tangent-bar style rotation stage is calculated based on the formula below. |
・ Ideal Resolution |
Model Number | Δθ | P | R |
RA05A-T01 | 0.72 | 1 | 27.5 |
RA07A-T02 | 0..36 | 1 | 42 |
RA10A-T02 | 0.36 | 1 | 57 |
Maximum Speed
Maximum speed depends on motor torque characteristics in higher speed area. However, we calculate maximum speed at 10kpps with motor in half-step mode. Except of 10kpps, the value is fill in each specification. |
