Built to Move: Why Shops Trust Sankyo Automation’s RollerDrive Trunnions

If you're machining large or complex parts while holding tight tolerances, you understand how important a reliable high-torque trunnion is. At Sankyo Automation, we built our RollerDrive Trunnions to give machinists a better solution for synchronized tilt and rotation across two axes. The result is smooth motion, fast indexing, and repeatable accuracy that holds up under real production demands.

Whether you're cutting aerospace components, automotive castings, or simply trying to keep pace with a busy CNC line, RollerDrive delivers performance you can trust.

What Sets It Apart

Dual-axis output with serious torque RollerDrive trunnions are engineered for strength. The combination of tilt and rotary motion allows you to handle heavy parts with confidence while maintaining precision. It keeps your spindle cutting and your tolerances tight.

Fast, repeatable indexing At the heart of each unit is Sankyo’s RollerDrive technology. The cam-driven system produces crisp, repeatable motion with zero backlash. That consistency is what makes it ideal for tight-tolerance work and automated workflows.

Room to fixture creatively The generous work envelope gives you the space to fixture large parts, long components, or odd shapes without sacrificing accessibility. More flexibility means fewer compromises in your setup.

Ideal Fit for Demanding Work

These trunnions are designed for shops that expect more from their equipment. Common applications include:

• Five-axis milling of aerospace and automotive components

• Machining large parts that require high torque and accuracy

• Integration into fast-paced CNC production lines

The Sankyo Difference

Sankyo Automation is known for building robust, long-lasting motion products. The RollerDrive Trunnion is no exception. Its mechanical reliability and repeatable performance make it a smart investment for any shop looking to scale up their five-axis capabilities or automate complex setups.
