SFP-800 Series
Flotron’s Small Foot Print (SFP) 800 series Rotation Fixtures are a higher capacity, more compact version of the 800 series where floor space is a premium. The SFP-800 series includes additional features and options; lift points above the CG capable of lifting the Flotron (with the payload integrated), one inch of axial float on the non-gearbox side trunnion to ease payload integration, flat leg design to lower the rotation centerline height without sacrificing available payload swing radius, lighter weight to ease maneuverability, elimination of single failure points for launch site compatibility, PTFE composite sleeve bushings on the non-gearbox-side trunnion to eliminate exposed grease in this area, as well as an option for a cordless hand drill to rotate the gearbox. This series is offered in three standard single beam configurations with adjustable riser heights. They are supplied with heavy-duty, hollow shaft, stairstep resistant gearboxes to handle large, off-center loads which may occur during assembly of the mounted payload.

Flotron’s 700 series holding fixtures are standard off-the-shelf units and are offered in three models with single or double beam configurations & manual or assisted height adjustment. They are normally supplied with heavy-duty gearboxes to handle large, off-center loads during assembly stages. These models are especially suited for handling different types of spacecraft & aircraft assemblies along with other heavier parts.

SFP-600 Series
Flotron’s Small Foot Print(SFP) 600 series Rotation Fixtures are a higher capacity, more compact version of 600 series where floor space is a premium. The SFP-600 series includes additional features and options; flat leg design to lower the rotation conterline height without sacrificing available payload swing radius, lighter weight to ease maneuverability, as well as an option for a cordless hand drill to rotate the gearbox. See below for data on the SFP-600 series models and click on any image for additional information.
Flotron’s 500 series holding fixtures handle more weight and torque than the 400 series, while their footprint is basically the same. The HD525 has triple beam construction and the HD510 has single beam construction. The HD510-HYD model adds the feature of hydraulic height adjustment. This allows the height to be adjusted infinitely while your part is loaded rather than unloading the fixture to adjust height. The main beams are ordered to the length required for your parts. Telescopic beams are also available to handle longer parts.

Flotron’s 300 and 400 series are standard floor type holding fixtures. The 300 series are non-gearbox and the 400 series are gearbox type. The 400 series are designed into applications where the off-center load needs to be controlled at all times. You can also use an index plate with or without the gearbox. The HD325 and HD425 units offer more rigidity and load capacity due to their three-beam construction. The main beams are ordered to the length required for your part. Telescopic beams are offered as well. See below for comparative data on all the 300 and 400 series holding fixtures and click on an image for additional information about a particular fixture.
Flotron’s 200 series are bench top holding fixtures. The 202 (without gearbox) and 212 (with gearbox) offer a standard 16 ¼” height and the SP version a height of 8″. The 208 (without gearbox) and 218 (with gearbox) models include the capability to rotate in two axes. These units can be adapted to conveyor or overhead systems as well.
