Abstract: A rotary drive device has a fluid-actuated rotary drive with a drive housing and a drive unit which is rotative relative thereto. The drive unit includes a drive shaft and a pivot piston, non-rotatably arranged thereon, separating two drive chambers from one another. For controlling the fluid-actuated rotary drive, a control valve arrangement including at least one electrically actuatable control valve is provided, which is attached to the drive housing and in this way is combined with the rotary drive to form a drive assembly that can be handled as a single unit. Furthermore, a robot arm is proposed, which has the rotary drive device as an arm joint connecting two arm members.

Abstract: A rotary drive device has a fluid-actuated rotary drive, which has a drive housing and a drive unit rotatable relative thereto. The drive unit has a pivot piston and a drive shaft connected thereto, whereby the drive shaft projects from the drive housing on an axial front side with a drive section. On the rear side, several components are mounted in axial succession on the drive housing of the rotary drive, which together with the rotary drive form a uniformly practicable drive assembly. These components include a valve carrier device carrying a control valve arrangement, a pneumatic connection unit, and an electronic control unit electrically connected to the control valve arrangement. A robot arm is also proposed, which includes the rotary drive device as an arm joint.

Abstract: An actuator arrangement, having a drive for providing a rotational movement about an axis of rotation and which includes an actuator housing whose outer surface extends with a curved profiling along the axis of rotation and which delimits a working space, in which a working element is rotatably accommodated, which includes a drive shaft which penetrates a front surface of the actuator housing, wherein the actuator housing is penetrated by a working port, which is designed for a connection of the working space with a valve arrangement, and with a valve arrangement, which is designed for a provision of a fluid flow at the working port and which includes a valve module, which is accommodated in a valve shaft of a valve housing and which has a fluid port, wherein the valve housing extends with a profiling in the form of a circular ring section along the axis of rotation.
