Robohand's DRF DirectConnect(TM) Flange Output Rotary Series Provides Rotary Motion Perfection



Madison Heights, Michigan, May 26, 2005 - Robohand (Monroe, Conn.), a DE-STA-CO company, announces the launch of its affordable new DRF DirectConnect(TM) flange mount rotary actuators where the payload inertia stops directly through an independent hard stop mounted in the turntable, rather than through the drive mechanism.

The payload mounts directly to the bearing supported flange, eliminating the need for external support bearings. Additional features include dual bearing flange support, magneto-resistive sensing, imperial and metric mounting, and adjustable hard stops. Shaft output torque generators are available with the DRG DirectConnect series.

Additionally, Robohand's DirectConnect mounting pattern allows the operator to easily mount a variety of grippers and slides without the need for adaptor plates. The DRF series is available in four sizes with payload capacity from 0.5 lb. to 15 lbs., torque ranging from 8 in-lbs. to 67 in-lbs. and offers rotations up to 180˚.
