KP1-MDC single-axis modular drive unit with counterbearing

The KP1-MDC single-axis modular unit consists of a drive and counterbearing with a hollow shaft. It enables simple and flexible implementation of customer-specific solutions and is available with a payload capacity of 500, 750, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000 or 4,000 kilograms.

Advantages of the KP1-MDC single-axis drive unit:

Simple planning:
The KP1-MDC makes planning even easier – with its identical loading height and the same hole pattern up to 1,500 kg.
Modular design:
The modular structure of the positioners provides maximum flexibility for implementing individual customer solutions.
Space-saving construction:
The KP1-MDC single-axis positioners are modular, highly compact units and are even suitable for confined installations.
Infinite rotation:
Thanks to its infinitely rotating design, the KP1-MDC single-axis positioner is optimally positioned and can be used without limitation in any axis orientation.
Any installation position:
Deploy the KP1-MDC in floor, wall, angle or ceiling-mounted positions without any restriction on the function or precision.
Integrated hollow shaft:
There is a hollow shaft integrated into the counterbearing. In the KP1-MDC HW variant, the drive unit also has an integrated hollow shaft. This allows energy and fluids to be supplied in a particularly space-efficient and favorable manner.
Simple integration:
The length compensation of 5 mm integrated into the counterbearing enables compensation of tool carrier tolerances.
Insulated face plate:
The face plates are electrically insulated as standard. This simplifies the integration process and improves the longevity of the positioner, particularly in the case of arc welding.
High welding power:
Weld with up to 1000 A with a duty cycle of 100%.
