Chapter 1 Overview of the RSF-B mini series Chapter 1 Overview RSF-B mini series are AC brushless servo actuators combined with a zero backlash Harmonic Drive gear for precise motion control. RSF-B mini series actuators are ideal for robot joint drives, semi-conductor, LCD panel manufacturing, machine tools and other various types of factory automation devices.

(Refer to JIS B-6201-1987). The RSF actuator incorporates a Harmonic Drive gear which inherently has high rotational position accuracy. Because of the gearing’s high ratio, any rotational error at the input (i.e. motor shaft position error or motor feedback error) is reduced by a factor of the ratio (1/ratio) and typically becomes negligible at the output.
Chapter 1 Overview of the RSF-B mini series 1-8 Torsional stiffness When a torque is applied to the output flange of the actuator with the motor locked, the resulting torsional wind up is near proportional to the torque. The upper right figure shows the torsional stiffness characteristics of the output flange applying torque starting from zero to plus side [+T ] and minus side [–T...
An encoder with 1000 pulses per rotation is incorporated in the motor unit of the RSF-B mini series actuators, and the motor output is decelerated by the precision Harmonic Drive® gear. Therefore, the resolution per one rotation of the actuator output shaft is multiplied by gear ratio of the actual encoder resolution.
Chapter 1 Overview of the RSF-B mini series 1-10 Allowable load 1-10-1 Allowable radial load and allowable thrust load The allowable radial load and thrust load of the output shaft are shown below. The allowable radial load F is obtained with respect to the center (L/2) 0 point of the output shaft.
Chapter 1 Overview of the RSF-B mini series 1-11 Rotary direction The rotary direction of the RSF-B mini series actuators when a forward rotation command is given from the HA-680 driver is forward rotation seen from the output shaft side (i.e. counterclockwise: CW). The rotary direction of the HA-680 can be switched by using the Parameter →...
