Rotary unit promises greater positioning accuracy, higher loads
The new IEF Werner MDV 80/100 manual rotary unit from R.A. Rodriguez is suitable for applications that require precision rotary adjustment. It features a high-specification worm gearbox to keep reversing backlash to a minimum, and spindle support bearing to absorb high torque capacity.
This product will prove particularly useful for applications such as positioning camera systems, ink jet printer heads and sensor adjustment used in manufacturing, factory automation or quality assurance processes. It is fully compatible with the full domiLINE linear motion range whose modularity makes it a popular choice for cost effective, built-for-purpose automation.
While the previous unit was capable of accommodating up to 2kg, the new model is rated for 10kg, a development that considerably extends the application scope of this adjustment unit. The compact MDV 80/100 has a 55mm diameter turntable which can be fitted above or below the unit, and incorporates an optional spindle clamping mechanism.
Accurate positioning can be achieved manually, via a fluted adjustment knob or handwheel, both of which have a resolution of 0.5 degree per graduation. Consistent with the domiLINE range the unit can also be equipped with an electronic position indicator with a resolution of 0.1 degree. Incremental and absolute dimension functions can also be incorporated, as well as a reset function.
