Nexen Group, Inc. introduced a stainless steel version of its patented precision roller pinion system (RPS). The Nexen RPS engages two teeth simultaneously to achieve more accuracy with zero backlash at a range of lengths. The system is also quiet and 99 percet efficient. Stainless steel makes the system corrosion resistant, with as long as a 36 million meter life span. Nexen’s RPS provides a low maintenance, durable alternative to rack and pinion, ball screw and belt drive technology. The RPS is used for a wide range of applications including laser cutting, plasma cutting, and gantry applications.
Highlights include:
• High speeds: 11 m/s (36 ft/sec)
• Superior accuracy: +- 50 um
• Zero backlash
• Unlimited length (custom lengths and modular components available)
• Long life: up to 36 million meters
