[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a compact direct-drive rotary table with encoder includes a mounting housing 9. A bearing end cover 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting housing 9, and a mounting base plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting housing 9. A frameless motor 5 is installed inside the mounting housing 9. A hollow shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the rotor inside the frameless motor 5. The top end of the hollow shaft 1 passes through the interior of the bearing end cover 2. A thin cross roller bearing 3 is sleeved on the outside of the hollow shaft 1. A bearing nut 4 is installed at the bottom of the thin cross roller bearing 3, and the thin cross roller bearing 3 is located inside the mounting housing 9. An encoder code disk 7 is sleeved on the bottom of the hollow shaft 1. An encoder PCB board 6 is connected to the encoder code disk 7, and the encoder PCB board 6 is electrically connected to the frameless motor 5.

[0018] In this embodiment, the rotary table uses thin-type crossed roller bearings 3 and bearing nuts 4, which saves space. At the same time, the motor rotor of the frameless motor 5 is directly mounted on the hollow shaft 1, driving the hollow shaft 1 to rotate. The encoder disk 7 is directly connected to the end of the hollow shaft 1. Through precision machining, the gap between the encoder disk 7 and the encoder PCB board 6 is ensured, eliminating unnecessary parts and maximizing space saving. The structure is more compact and there are no gears, belts, reducers or other transmission mechanisms. It has the characteristics of low maintenance, low vibration, low noise, no wear, and smooth movement.

[0019] As one implementation method, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a connector 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting housing 9, and the connector 10 is connected to the encoder PCB board 6.

[0020] In this embodiment, the encoder PCB board 6 separates the hardware circuit and the induction coil circuit into separate boards and connects them through connector 10. The same hardware board can be used for different models of products, and only the induction coil board needs to be modified, which greatly enhances the versatility of the product.

[0021] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end face of the hollow shaft 1 has a threaded hole and a pin hole, and the hollow shaft 1 has a stepped shaft structure.

[0025] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer diameter of the hollow shaft 1 matches the inner diameter of the bearing end cover 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the hollow shaft 1 can be used as an installation reference and is concentric with the bearing end cover 2, thereby ensuring concentric installation and axial runout.

[0028] In this embodiment, the encoder disk 7 is directly connected to the end of the hollow rotating shaft 1. The distance between the disk and the PCB board is ensured through processing, eliminating unnecessary parts and saving space.

[0029] Working principle: During use, the rotary table adopts thin cross roller bearings 3 and bearing nuts 4, which saves space. At the same time, the motor rotor of the frameless motor 5 is directly mounted on the hollow shaft 1, driving the hollow shaft 1 to rotate. The encoder disk 7 is directly connected to the end of the hollow shaft 1. Through precision machining, the gap between the encoder disk 7 and the encoder PCB board 6 is ensured, eliminating unnecessary parts and maximizing space saving. The structure is more compact and there are no gears, belts, reducers and other transmission mechanisms. It has the characteristics of low maintenance, low vibration, low noise, no wear, and smooth movement. Meanwhile, the hardware board and the induction coil board in the encoder PCB board 6 are separate and connected by connector 10. The same hardware board can be used for different models of products, and only the induction coil board needs to be modified, which greatly enhances the versatility of the product.
