RG600 High-Torque Electric Rotary Actuator
A patent-pending reduction gearbox that replaces the hydraulic ram at the pivot: rated to 6,000 Nm continuous, 10,000 Nm max for shock loads, the same torque both ways — sealed, grease-free, about 20 kg.
Evaluation unit A$4,950, credited in full against your first order of 10 or more. About 2 months lead time.

Same torque, your speed
Pick the ratio from how fast the joint needs to move. A higher ratio is slower but reaches the same torque with a smaller motor.
| Ratio | Output speed at 2,500 rpm input | Joint speed |
|---|---|---|
| 800:1 | 3.1 rpm | ≈ 19°/s |
| 1,200:1 | 2.1 rpm | ≈ 12.5°/s |
| 1,600:1 | 1.6 rpm | ≈ 9.4°/s |
| Custom 400:1 – 2,400:1 | 6.3 – 1.0 rpm | ≈ 37.5 – 6°/s |
800:1, 1,200:1 and 1,600:1 are standard. Custom ratios are made to order and add to the lead time.
A cylinder is weaker on the way back. The RG600 isn't.
Pushing, a hydraulic cylinder uses its whole piston. Pulling, it only has the ring around the rod, so it pulls with 50–70% of its push force. The RG600 drives a joint with the same torque in both directions: equally strong lifting and lowering, opening and closing.
Prove it on your machine first
Serious about designing the RG600 into your equipment? Start with an engineering evaluation unit:
- Evaluation unit A$4,950 — fully credited against your first production order of 10 or more units, so a genuine program effectively evaluates free
- Approximately 2-month lead time from payment
- Spec support from our engineering team while you validate it on your own rig
Real units, not renders
Take the gearbox alone, or the whole drivetrain
The RG600 works with your own motor and control. Or take our 48V BLDC motors, motor controllers and software alongside it, and the drivetrain arrives matched and ready to fit.
48V BLDC Motors
1 kW, 2 kW and 3 kW 48V brushless DC motors, plus custom builds, engineered to drive the RG600 and electrify low-speed equipment.
View specificationsControllers & Software
Integrated motor controllers with position feedback, a primary controller for up to 20 motors, an input controller and a GPS/Lidar add-on.
View specificationsWhere it doesn't fit
The RG600 is for slow, heavy joints — up to about 3.1 rpm on 800:1, or about 6 rpm on a custom 400:1. It isn't built for fast swing or digging impacts. Electric vs hydraulic, compared honestly.
Spec the RG600 for your machine
Send us the joint and we'll come back with the ratio, motor and pricing. We ship worldwide, and one-off private orders are welcome. RG600 drives articulate E-XD's electric platform machines in place of hydraulic rams.
