Swivel Unit Features Mid-Position Locking, Bumper Concept
July 1, 2015
RÖHM Products of America offers its new RSP-MV swivel unit that is engineered to provide rapid cycle times, increased process reliability and precise swiveling in automation applications.
The compact unit features mid-position locking and a bumper concept designed to enable smooth, fast swiveling from the middle and end positions without the need to first vent the piston chamber. In addition, end and middle positions can be adjusted by ± 3° for tolerance compensation. Fine adjustment of dampers at end and middle positions provide compensation for varied workpiece geometries.
"Exact swiveling position is determined using up to six integrated magnetic sensors, reducing waiting times," said a company spokesperson. "The unit's high torque over the entire swiveling range, in addition to end-position bumper adjustment for adaptation to the moment of inertia, also contribute to cycle time reduction.
"Through the included S7 programming module, the RSP-MV swiveling unit can be integrated directly into existing program flow with a simple software handshake and put into operation immediately. Once it is installed, the RSP-MV unit can reach up to 10 million swiveling cycles without maintenance."
The new swiveling unit is available in three sizes with different configuration variations.
