Hollow shaft actuators
27 August 2014
For industrial applications where high accuracy, high torque and low weight are essential, the new CHA-14 and CHA-17 lightweight actuators from Harmonic Drive feature a central hollow shaft, helping original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to minimise complexity.

The hollow shaft – the largest available on the market – makes it easy to pass power supply cables, shafts or laser beams directly through the servo actuator.
The new actuators address increasing demand for more compact, powerful and cost effective machine tools. In conjunction with the integrated hollow shaft, robustness is maximised by using high capacity tilt resistant output bearings to allow direct mounting of the load.
