As a trusted provider of advanced motion control solutions, Pelonis Technologies delivers compact, high-performance solutions that meet the needs of modern automation systems. Our hollow rotary actuator reducers are a prime example, designed with a large central bore to allow laser beams, cables, tubing, and other components to pass directly through the axis of rotation.
These hollow shaft gear reducers offer space efficiency, high precision, and installation flexibility, making them ideal for robotics, automation, and semiconductor applications. Built for engineers and integrators who demand performance without compromise, they're a key part of our motion control solutions.
Key Characteristics of Hollow Rotary Reducers
Hollow rotary actuator reducers are uniquely engineered to support streamlined, space-saving system designs without sacrificing strength or performance. Key characteristics include:
- Hollow Interior: The hollow interior design reduces weight and allows cables, hoses, or other system components to pass directly through the reducer's center. This hollow space simplifies routing and integration with other components.
- Optimized Gear Train: Comprising output and input gears, the gear train design is carefully optimized to deliver precise torque and speed reduction while maintaining a compact footprint.
- Structural Integrity: Despite the open interior, the housing is structurally reinforced with internal supports to withstand the mechanical stresses of demanding applications.
- Lubrication and Sealing: To ensure long-term reliability, these reducers are designed with high-performance sealing systems that prevent lubricant leaks and keep contaminants out of critical components. Their lubrication systems are also designed for even distribution throughout all parts, promoting long service life with minimal maintenance.
- Thermal Management: Integrated cooling paths or conductive housing elements help dissipate heat efficiently, maintaining performance under continuous use.
- Compact Design: The integrated, space-conscious design makes them a powerful option for motion control systems where space is limited.
Common Applications
Hollow rotary actuator reducers are engineered for versatility across a broad spectrum of high-precision industries. Their unique hollow shaft design allows engineers to simplify system layouts by routing cables, tubing, or even shafts directly through the center of the actuator. This not only reduces space requirements but also improves system efficiency and maintenance access. The compact size, high rigidity, and smooth rotational motion make them especially valuable in environments where accuracy and integration flexibility are essential.
These gear reducers offer a reliable way to manage internal components without compromising performance or safety. Typical applications include:
- Robotics: They enable seamless cable routing through joints and arms for functional robotic movement.
- Semiconductor Manufacturing: Hollow rotary actuators offer built-in paths for wiring and tubing lines of inspection systems and wafer handling equipment.
- Automated Systems: They integrate easily into factory automation setups by internally routing pneumatic lines and cables.
- Machine Tooling: Reduce clutter and improve precision by running sensor cables and coolant hoses through the center shaft.
