Nabtesco RV series high-precision reducer

Product positioning and core technology

The Nabtesco RV series is a two-stage high-precision cycloidal pinwheel reducer, which is the core transmission component of industrial robots and precision equipment.

Structure: First stage spur gear reduction+second stage cycloidal pinwheel reduction

Core advantages:

Simultaneous meshing of multiple teeth, uniform force distribution

Full rolling friction, high efficiency, minimal wear

Double supported crankshaft, high rigidity, impact resistance

Integrated angular contact bearing, no additional bearings required
