Nexen Roller Pinion System RPS Linear Drives
Nexen Roller Pinion System RPS Linear Drives
RPS uses a bearing-supported roller pinion and a matched tooth profile to transmit linear motion. Multiple roller/tooth contacts support low-backlash motion, while modular rack sections permit extended travel. It is a mechanical transmission system; the motor, gearbox, guidance, feedback and mounting structure determine the completed axis.
Review Summary
Consider RPS for long-stroke gantries and cutting/handling equipment where rack installation and supported loading can be controlled. A zero-backlash mesh does not remove compliance or error elsewhere in the mechanism. Select an actual rack grade, pinion size and drive configuration rather than apply every family headline to one axis.
