Fabco-Air FRC Rack-and-Pinion Rotary Actuator

The Fabco-Air FRC16X180 is a FRC Series rotary actuator. The source product description identifies this family as a compact rack-and-pinion rotary design with a mechanism intended to minimize backlash.

The source description lists magnetic pistons as standard and describes the rotary family as easily interchangeable with popular competing products. For the FRC Series, the source additionally identifies larger sizes with more torque, standard adjustable air cushions, and optional shock-absorber cushioning.

Is the design compact?

Yes. The source description specifically identifies a compact, space-saving design.

Is backlash addressed in the design?

The source description states that the mechanism is designed to minimize backlash.

Are magnetic pistons standard?

Yes. Magnetic pistons are listed as standard.

What is special about the FRC Series?

The source description lists larger sizes with more torque, standard adjustable air cushions and optional shock-absorber cushioning for FRC models.

Can I assume the rotation angle from the model code?

Use the Fabco-Air datasheet to confirm the exact rotation angle and configuration for the complete model.

What applications suit these actuators?

Typical uses include indexing, turning, orientation, fixture rotation and other automated angular motions.

What should I verify before ordering?

Confirm model, rotation angle, required torque, mounting, cushioning and operating conditions.
