However, the design of series 0.500 differs slightly from that of series 0.400. a) The joint pivots are not located in one plane thus enabling a more compact design. This feature short- ens the distance between the center piece which re- sults in a shorter installation length. b) Series 0.500 offers more joint sizes than series 0.400 thus covering a wider torque range. Since the same principles of kinematics apply to both series, please refer to the technical annex: Application Guidelines and Calculation Data. The measures to be taken to minimize fluctuation are described there. General technical data of series 0.500: Maximum angle of deflection: up to 50° Torque range: up to 16900 Nm Fork Shaft Design For more detailed information please refer to the datasheets which follow.
