Rotary Actuators and Positioners

Automation For Rotary Motion

To achieve rotary motion, Cross Company pairs a rotary table with a servo motor, drive and control to create a complete rotary actuation system. This allows greater flexibility for your rotary positioner because you’re not tied to just one or two positions. Some examples of rotary actuation that Cross Company has worked on recently include:

  • Robotic cells which require precise rotary indexing for manufacturing stations
  • Direct drive motors moving large loads at different speeds, yet running continuously to match the speed of the manufacturing line
  • A rotary stage running at speed

Benefits of Cross Precision Motion Control

Cross Company’s Automation Group works with several different manufacturers of motors, drives and rotary tables. We work with you to understand your application and then we size and specify the best combination for your particular need. We have literally decades of experience working with rotary actuators, so we can specify a robust solution optimized for the application.

There are many features of rotary actuators that make them essential components for a variety of automation systems. This can include rotating at a variety of speeds, exerting a variety of torques, high levels of accuracy, anti-backlash, and a range of control methods (manual, PLCs, motion controllers, etc).

If you’re interested in actuators or positioners for machine tools, robots, conveyor systems, or any other industrial manufacturing application, you’ve come to the right place. Our experts can work with you to devise a custom solution that works for your unique manufacturing process.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
