5.3 Protection class
NOTICE
The product achieves protection class IP40 in all mounted positions of installation.
5.4 Function
The rotary distributor is designed as a compact device for media transfer. The housing functions as a stator due to the
torque brace. This is where the media to be transferred are brought in. The robot ange and the tool-side connecting ange
are the rotating elements. The structural design of the robot ange is based on the specications from DIN EN ISO 9409-1.
The rotary distributor prevents cable breaks, damage or cracks in pneumatic lines, as there are no interference contours
resulting from exposed lines. The compact design reduces the torque loads for the handling system to a minimum. In the
interior, the gold contacts of the slip ring provide high exibility in the electrical transmission of low currents up to 250V and
a maximum of 6A.
