Nexen Group, Inc. introduces the Compact Ring Drive (CRD) system with a precision grade bearing and drive mechanism in a sealed housing. Freely programmable, the three-drive design configurations allow the CRD to be optimized for high speed, high torque or both, depending on the application. With a 250 or 350 mm dial plate bolt circle diameter and a large open center, users can optimize performance in a small space. The combination of Nexen’s roller pinion technology with integrated bearing and motor/gearhead deliver a rigid, smooth system with zero backlash options from the motor through the driven load. The CRD is ideal for applications including cutting systems, gantry systems, medical products, robotics, aerospace, machine tool, semiconductor and material handling.

Features of Nexen’s Compact Precision Ring Drive System, include:

• Indexing precision up to ± 30 arcsec and repeatability up to ± 5.1 arcsec
• Zero backlash options
• High output load capacity – up to 108 kN
• Handles speeds up to 225 rpm
• Smooth in motion
