Product Overview
The RSF-Supermini series are extremely compact servo actuators using zero backlash Harmonic Drive precision gears with brushless servo motor and incremental encoder. Available in sizes 3C and 5B with gear ratios 30 50 and 100. RSF-5B available with optional brake. Compatible with Mitsubishi MELSERVO-J4. Mass as low as 31g. EN60034-1 and EN60034-5 safety certified.
The RSF-Supermini is a fully integrated rotary actuator combining servo motor, harmonic gear reducer, encoders, servo electronics, and compact mechanical packaging in a single assembly.
Rotary Actuator Architecture
Harmonic Drive rotary actuators integrate a precision strain wave gear with a brushless servo motor in a compact assembly. The hollow shaft design allows cables, pneumatic lines, or laser beams to pass directly through the axis of rotation.
Hollow Shaft Design
Central through-bore enables cable routing through the axis of rotation in robot joint designs.
Zero Backlash Gear
Harmonic Drive strain wave gear provides zero backlash for precise bidirectional positioning.
Brushless Servo Motor
Integrated brushless motor optimised for high cycle duty in automation applications.
High Accuracy
Positioning accuracy better than 1 arc-min with high repeatability across the operating range.
High Torque Density
Compact housing delivers high peak torque relative to size and mass.
Direct Load Attachment
Output flange directly accepts loads without additional coupling or bearing hardware.
Typical Applications
The RSF-Supermini suits robot joint axes, index tables, semiconductor handling, laser beam steering, and precision positioning applications requiring compact hollow shaft actuation with zero backlash.
