igus ReBel RL-SE-80-50-0011 Gearbox Input Shaft, 2 Nm

ReBel RL-SE-80 Integrated Shaft Gearbox for Cobot Joints:

The igus ReBel RL-SE-80-50-0011 Gearbox Input Shaft is a size 80 integrated shaft gearbox designed for compact collaborative robot joints, combining a brushless DC motor, encoder, and CAN-BUS driver for industrial automation systems.

• Rated torque: 2 Nm at 10 rpm
• Integrated components: Brushless DC motor, encoder, flange mount
• Weight reduction: 25 percent lighter than strain wave gearing
• Material: igus high-performance polymers

Features and Applications:

The RL-SE-80-50-0011 model from igus is engineered for direct installation in robot joints and actuator assemblies, especially for size 80 collaborative cobot applications. Its integrated design reduces assembly steps by eliminating separate motor, gearbox, and controller mounts, making it well-suited for weight-sensitive fields such as pick-and-place, machine tending, and light-duty industrial automation. Integration of the encoder streamlines feedback and control for precise motion. The ReBel series is known for ease of mechanical integration and long service life when used in igus ReBel cobots or other compatible modular robots.

Competitive Advantages Over Conventional and Integrated Gearboxes:

Compared to strain wave gears, the RL-SE-80-50-0011 provides a competitive edge with its 25 percent lighter construction using performance polymer composition, which supports higher payload-to-weight ratios in collaborative robot arms. When compared to other integrated gearboxes, the brushless DC motor with external rotor and single-package design further reduce both wiring and mechanical complexity in industrial cobot systems.

Key Specifications:

• Size 80 body, rated for 2 Nm torque
• Direct flange mounting for robotic joint integration
• CAN-BUS motor driver board provides simple networked control
• Encoder ensures closed-loop feedback

What is an Integrated Cobot Gearbox?

An integrated cobot gearbox, such as the RL-SE-80-50-0011, combines the motor, encoder, and gearbox in one housing, reducing assembly effort and simplifying control for collaborative robots.

Common Questions:

• What applications use size 80 cobot gearboxes? Typical uses include industrial collaborative robot arms, light assembly, machine tending, and electronic inspection lines.
• How does integrated design reduce assembly time? The motor, gearbox, and controller are factory-assembled into one unit, so mounting and wiring require fewer steps compared to conventional multi-component solutions.
