They contain high-energy magnets in a simplified mechanical design and drive loads directly without the need for a transmission mechanism or gearbox. It allows customers to build them right into a drive system for flexible placement and integration with cooling pipes and cables, for example.

We supply a wide range of frameless motors, and our adjustable motors include an optical encoder, scale, bearing and housing. Given our selection, it can be challenging to choose the best direct drive motor for your project. Our engineers prefer to help you find the right rotary table for your requirements.

Our most popular rotary motor, the AXD series is characterized by a slim, compact "pancake" design with high peak and continuous torque despite the motor"s quite small form factor.Direct drive and brushless motor

The ACD series is a set of ironless rotary tables. This motor is cogging-free and features high-resolution optical encoder feedback and low speed variability. This permanent magnet motor is equally suited for either low or high speed applications.Zero cogging coreless motor

M-035 series high precision rotary tables rotation stages feature high resolution, excellent repeatability and minimum wobble. These high performance rotational positioning stages are equipped with double ball bearings for minimum backlash and high load capacity. Both the rotation stage platform and the scale ring (graduated in 2-degree increments) can be independently coarse positioned over 360 degrees and then be locked by screws.

The basic rotary table version, M-035.D0, is equipped with a DC servo motor drive providing a positioning range of ± 6.3 degrees. A set of limit switches eliminates the possibility of overtravel. For the highest precision and highest performance, high speed air bearing rotary tables are recommended.

PI’s direct-drive rotary tables with frictionless, brushless, closed-loop torque motors provide the best combination of high accuracy, high velocity, and maximum service life. PI provides closed-loop direct drive rotary tables with both mechanical bearings and air bearings. Stage models with large apertures and low profile are available. The stage design is optimized for high speed, stiffness, and high load capacity. If completely friction-free and maintenance free motion with virtually unlimited lifetime is required, air bearing rotation tables are recommended. These ultra-precision, high-speed rotary tables provide vibration-free motion with extremely high accuracy and negligible runout, wobble and eccentricity errors. The lack of lubricants makes these also clean room compatible and ideal for any high-performance metrology application in optics, photonics, and semiconductor manufacturing, test and metrology related projects.

In contrast to worm gear driven rotary stages or belt-drive rotation stages, torque-motor direct drive stages eliminate play in gears, couplings or flex in drive belts, providing motion with zero backlash and excellent constancy of velocity, while achieving higher speed than worm-gear drives.

PI’s precision direct-drive, positioning tables can be used in high performance factory automation, research, semiconductor, and laser processing applications. Due to the use of brushless high-torque, motors with direct metrology position feedback, backlash is completely eliminated, and reliability is greatly improved.

With modern direct-metrology rotary encoders, sensor resolution down to 1/100th of a microrad is available on select models with large rotary table platforms, using the high interpolation factors

Based on the high encoder resolution and powerful servo controllers, the direct-drive rotary tables also provide excellent velocity control, which is required in automation applications including high-speed laser processing, indexing, and semiconductor wafer inspection.

Most Direct Drive Rotation stages can be mounted horizontally and vertically, and with combinations all 3 rotary degrees of freedom (3DOF, pitch, yaw, and roll) can be addressed.

A turbo among rotary tables – the new FIBRODYN DA direct driven rotary tables with torque motor are optimally suited for all handling and assembly applications that require the shortest indexing times and flexible positioning. Thanks to its measuring system directly in the rotary table axis, any position can be moved to with the highest precision. The slim design with its very space-saving, compact construction and its fitted boreholes makes it very easy to integrate the rotary tale into your system. FIBRODYN DA is also available as decentralized stand-alone solution with integrated control. In this version, it offers the ideal opportunity to save a separate external NC control to minimize the implementation and start-up costs and to realize small machines without complex peripherals. The rotary tables are lifetime lubricated and maintenance free.

This compact closed-loop direct drive rotary table uses a 3-phase motor for maintenance free, frictionless power transmission. It comes in two variations, standard and with holding brake.

This miniaturized closed-loop rotary positioner is driven by an ultrasonic direct-drive motor and provides high rotational velocity up to 3 revolutions / second. An optical encoder is integrated for direct position measurement and feedback with 35 �rad resolution.

Q-motion series miniature rotation stages are driven by inertia-type piezo motors. These miniaturized positoining tables are direct-driven, backlash free and provide micro-radian resolution. The self-locking design requires no holding current and provides excellent long-term stability. Three different diameters are available: 14 mm, 22 mm and 32 mm.

The DGII Series is a line of of products that combine a high rigidity hollow rotary table with an AlphaStep closed loop stepper motor and driver package. It retains the ease of use of a stepper motor, while also allowing for highly accurate positioning of large inertia loads.

Sherline has taken their accurate and reliable 4″ rotary table into the 21st century with the addition of Computer Numeric Control. Clock-makers or anyone with a need to cut gears or other complicated radially symmetrical patterns will find this accessory takes all the headaches out of repetitive indexing operations.

The rotary table comes with clamps and T-nuts for attaching it to the T-slots of a Sherline mill table. In addition, there are two options available for mounting the table in the vertical position or at other angles:

Right-Angle Attachment—This plate holds the table in the vertical position with a center height of 2.7″. A right-angle tailstock is also available to support long stock held on center in the rotary table.

Tilting-Angle Table—This table holds the rotary table and can be fixed at any angle from 0° to 90°. In the 90° position, the rotary table center is also at the 2.7″ height, which allows the right-angle tailstock to be used with it.

After entering the number of steps per revolution (or the number of degrees per step) on a simple numeric keypad, the table advances quickly and precisely to the next position at the touch of a single advance key. If an error is made, previous positions can be accurately recalled by hitting another button. Basic resolution is 28,800 steps per revolution, ±0.006° per step. This allows the accurate machining of items like gears with odd numbers of teeth. Computations are made internally to a high degree of accuracy to avoid cumulative errors.

A rotary table used in conjunction with a mill allows a machinist to produce virtually any part they can design. Sherline’s rotary table is a precision piece of equipment that has been designed to work with their vertical milling machines. However, it can be used on any mill whenever the small 4-inch size would be an advantage. The only limits are size, not complexity.

The table is 2″ high and 4″ (100mm) in diameter. The main components have been machined from solid bar stock steel, and the complete unit weighs seven pounds. The table has been engraved with a laser, giving sharp and precise lines every 5°, numbered every 15°. These lines are calibrated with the 72-tooth worm gear that is driven by the handwheel. The handwheel is divided into 50 parts, making each line on the handwheel 1/10°. This allows a circle to be divided into 3600 increments without interpolation. Seventy-two revolutions of the handwheel rotate the table one revolution.

The rotary tables can hold more weight when they are not under a continuous load. Click on the Video tab above to see examples of different weights and uses for our rotary tables.

The table T-slots are identical to those used on the Sherline mill and lathe, making the vast line of Sherline tooling available for use with this product. Two hold-down clamps and T-nuts are provided with the table. Also included is an adapter that allows Sherline’s 3- and 4-jaw chucks to be screwed directly to the rotary table. An optional right-angle attachment is available (P/N 3701) to mount the table in the vertical position to increase its versatility further. With the table mounted vertically, an optional adjustable right-angle tailstock (P/N 3702) can be mounted to the mill table. It is used to support and stabilize the other end of long work held in a chuck or otherwise attached to the rotary table.
