igus®
igus robolink D external rotary axis (RL-D-50-A0210) delivers 15 Nm rated torque and 6 rpm for circular workpiece positioning. Stepper-driven 48:1 gearbox enables indexing, part rotation, and multi-station assembly tasks on robots and automation cells.
The igus robolink D External Rotary Axis is a precision rotary axis for expanding the rotational range of industrial robotic systems and automation cells.
Designed for use with igus robolink d and compatible multi-axis robots, the RL-D-50-A0210 model supports slewing and indexing operations in part presentation, automated assembly, and multi-sided machining positions. The rotary axis attaches externally, making it suitable for integration into new and retrofit automation solutions.
The igus robolink D External Rotary Axis features an external mounting interface for easy installation on established work cells. Standard mechanical flanges support direct coupling to igus robotic components and other automation platforms with comparable mounting patterns. The rotary axis is driven by a stepper motor for reliable control through industrial controllers.
The RL-D-50-A0210 rotary axis is ideal when applications call for precise low-speed rotation, robust torque delivery, and compatibility with floor-mounted or table-mounted robots. The 15 Nm operating torque and 50 Nm peak load capacity suit moderate payloads. The low-noise, low-maintenance gearbox keeps support requirements minimal under typical industrial use.
External rotary axis installation time varies by cell configuration, but the modular interface allows efficient integration. Periodic inspection and lubrication of the slewing ring maintain consistent performance. The unit operates quietly to suit open production environments, with minimal additional maintenance beyond standard checks.
The igus robolink D External Rotary Axis rotates parts in place, eliminating the need to reposition them manually or with multiple robot moves. Use this axis when your robot alone cannot reach all sides of a workpiece without stopping and resetting.
