What is a Hollow Rotary Stage?

A hollow rotary stage positions a rotating platform through a full 360° continuous rotation or defined angular increment while maintaining a clear through-bore aperture along the central rotation axis.

The term “hollow rotary table” is not a commonly used term in engineering or industrial contexts. However, based on the combination of “hollow” and “rotary table,” I can provide you with information about a similar concept known as “Hollow Rotary Indexers” or a “hollow rotary indexer.”

A hollow rotary stage or indexer is a mechanical device used in various applications, such as robotics, automation, manufacturing, and precision positioning systems. It consists of a circular platform that can rotate around a central axis. Here, the term “hollow” refers to the presence of a central hole or opening in the platform. This feature allows for the passage of various components. For example, cables, hoses, or other parts can pass through this opening.

The primary purpose of a hollow rotary tables is to provide precise angular positioning and rotational motion. It often incorporates a motor, such as a stepper motor or a servo motor, to drive the rotation of the platform. In addition, the motor is typically controlled using a feedback system. For example, encoders or sensors are used to ensure accurate positioning.

Hollow rotary tables are used in applications where it is necessary to rotate objects or perform tasks around a central axis. At the same time, they allow for the passage of other components through the center of the stage. For example, in robotic applications, a hollow rotary stage can be used to rotate an end effector. Meanwhile, it also allows cables or pneumatic lines to pass through the center.

FAQs

1. What bearing geometry delivers best axial and radial runout in hollow rotary stages?
   Crossed roller bearings use alternating cylindrical rollers at 90° orientation, simultaneously handling axial, radial, and moment loads through a single compact bearing row. This geometry achieves axial runout below ±0.001mm and radial runout below ±0.002mm. Four-point contact ball bearings suit lower precision requirements at higher speeds. Air bearings deliver sub-micron runout for ultra-precision optical and semiconductor applications.
2. What torque motor winding configuration suits hollow rotary stage direct drive?
   Segmented stator windings arranged as a ring around the hollow bore outer diameter maximize torque arm length at given stage diameter. Fractional slot concentrated windings reduce cogging torque below 0.5% of peak rated torque — critical for smooth low-speed rotation in optical scanning and inspection applications. Three-phase sinusoidal commutation from a servo drive with sine encoder feedback maintains torque ripple below 1% across full speed range.
3. How does moment load capacity scale with hollow rotary stage diameter?
   Moment load capacity scales with the square of the bearing pitch circle diameter — doubling stage diameter quadruples moment resistance at equivalent bearing section height. Distributed crossed roller contact across a large diameter ring generates moment arm leverage unavailable in compact shaft bearings. Specify stage diameter first based on required moment capacity, then verify through-bore fits within the resulting annular section.
4. How do you verify hollow rotary stage angular positioning accuracy after installation?
   Mount a precision polygon mirror on the rotating platform and direct an autocollimator beam at each mirror face sequentially. Compare measured angular positions against calibrated polygon face angles — deviations reveal absolute angular positioning error across the full 360° rotation range. Laser interferometer with rotary axis attachment measures bidirectional positioning error and reversal backlash per ISO 230-2 acceptance criteria. Map systematic errors into controller compensation tables before production use.
