Rotating nut

RVI Inverted Roller Screws

An inverted planetary roller screw where the nut rotates and the screw remains fixed — ideal for compact, integrated actuator packages.

Overview

In the RVI inverted configuration the roller nut rotates while the screw shaft is held stationary and translates. This arrangement suits actuators where the motor drives the nut directly, enabling shorter, more compact and highly integrated designs — for example inside electromechanical cylinders.

Features

01

Compact integration

Rotating-nut design shortens the actuator and simplifies the drive train.

02

Direct nut drive

The nut can be driven directly by a motor or through a gear/belt stage.

03

High load in small envelope

Roller-screw load capacity in a package optimised for space.

04

Clean electromechanical motion

Enables sealed, efficient actuator designs.

Benefits

  • Build shorter, lighter electric cylinders and actuators.
  • Integrate motor and screw into one compact assembly.
  • Achieve high force density where space is constrained.

Applications

  • Electromechanical cylinders
  • Robotics and exoskeletons
  • Aerospace actuation
  • Compact automation
