The output table of the DG Series rotary actuator permits the user to directly couple to the application load. A single stage reduction gear mechanism increases the diameter of the driven gear in the output table that enables a large through-hole configuration. The gear reduction mechanism achieves a repeatability of +/-15 arc-seconds and a total lost motion (backlash) of less than 2 minutes. The 60mm rotary actuator achieves a permissible torque of 7.9 lb-in. The 85mm and 130mm high rigidity models develop a permissible torque of 24 lb-in and 106 lb-in respectively.
