CAMCO RSD Rotary Servo Drive

April 19, 2011

DESTACO announces the release of a new product, the CAMCO RSD rotary servo drive. The RSD was designed to meet customers’ exacting requirements for precise control, efficiency, and flexibility.

The zero-backlash, cam-actuated drive can be used with both rotary and linear systems for accurate, smooth motions even at high speeds or with rapid speed changes. The new drive is compatible with a variety of industry-standard servo motors, offering the flexibility and logic to handle applications that involve uneven motion or displacement, change in direction, or different products running on the same machine.

A large output mounting surface enables the RSD to support dials and high loads. Its thru-hole can easily accommodate accessory lines such as electrical wiring and air or hydraulic lines.

“The RSD is priced competitively with planetary gear heads, while offering the key advantages of a cam actuator,” said Lou Wozniak, Product Manager for DE-STA-CO. “The RSD also offers ratios of 4:1 to 18:1 in a single stage. That’s another big advantage over planetary gear heads, which require two stages and a longer housing for higher ratios.”

Additional features of the CAMCO RSD include:

  • Four output options: large flange with thru hole; 32mm diameter shaft; external shrink disk for 30mm or 40mm shaft; and internal shrink disk for 30mm shaft
  • Large overturning moment capacity thanks to large output bearing
  • Universal mounting
  • Maintenance-free operation
  • compatible with a variety of industry-standard servo motors
  • large output mounting surface
  • thru hole can easily accommodate accessory lines
