Our direct-drive rotary axis solutions

Our direct-drive rotary axes combine advanced drive technologies with compact designs for precise and reliable rotary motion.

  • Direct-drive rotary axes: High torque density for dynamic motion without mechanical backlash
  • Hollow-shaft direct-drive rotary axes: Cable routing and media feedthrough through the centre of the axis
  • Compact direct-drive rotary axes: Space-saving design for limited installation spaces with high load capacity
  • Precision indexing tables: High repeatability for indexed processes
