May 30, 2019

Nexen Group, Inc. introduces a stainless steel version of its patented precision roller pinion system (RPS). The Nexen RPS engages two teeth simultaneously to achieve superior accuracy with zero backlash at any length. The system is also extremely quiet, and 99% efficient.

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)
