A High Torque, Zero Backlash Gear Solution NOT like anything else on the market.
Stop by the Motus Labs booth 4407 at Automate 2023 where we are introducing and showcasing the ML2000 robotic gear series at the nation’s largest automation conference, hosted in Detroit Michigan May 22-25, 2023.
Unlike any existing design on the market today, the patent-pending Orbital Flex™ boasts zero backlash, high torque density, linear torsional stiffness and a cross roller output bearing, enabling new and emerging use cases within the robotics and motion control sectors.
The ML2000 and its patent-pending Orbital Flex™ was created by Motus Labs engineers to fulfill unique needs within the robotic gears market. To increase precision within the gear, zero backlash became one of the highest priorities for Orbital Flex performance. In addition to offering zero backlash, Motus Labs sought to develop a gear series with an increased torque density. While these two features alone were enough to move the innovation needle, Motus Labs also shifted the gear failure point and material options to extend life and promote versatility.
The unique approach of the Orbital Flex™ allows Motus Labs to offer a better performing, simpler gear solution design, while also utilizing existing components and machine elements. This gear motion technology allows for better speed, control, and precision, all while offering material flexibility. Designed as maintenance free, the ML2000 offers a robust price-performance lifecycle.
The design of the Orbital Flex™ is centered around a solid, rigid, preloaded cup, orbiting within a ring gear to produce a zero backlash effect. To offset the preload on the cup, a compliance flexure is used to smooth the output, thus generating torque and linear torsional stiffness. The rigidity of the cup is what allows for its versatility in materials.
Motus Labs will showcase the ML2000 gear series built using Orbital Flex™ at the Automate 2023 (Booth 4407) conference in Detroit on May 22nd, a gathering of automation industry professionals to access cutting edge innovations.
