When a palletizer robot needs a replacement component, the first question is usually mechanical: do you need the part that lifts the arm, or the part that handles gear reduction? This head-to-head compares two ABB IRB 6400R parts for that decision: the 7" bore lift cylinder and the RV250 reduction gear with an 11-1/2" outside diameter.
Quick verdict
If you're dealing with a lift cylinder need, the ABB IRB 6400R Palletizer Industrial Robot Lift Cylinder is the lower-priced option here. If the reduction gear is what your palletizing line conveyor needs, the ABB RV250 gear is the one that matches that function. Both are listed as used ABB components.
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar | What It Is |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABB IRB 6400R Palletizer Industrial Robot Lift Cylinder 7" Bore | $179.99 | Used ABB lift cylinder for the IRB 6400R palletizer | |
| ABB RV250 IRB 6400R Palletizer Robot Reduction Gear 11-1/2" OD | $509.99 | Used ABB RV250 reduction gear for the IRB 6400R palletizer |
Where each component fits
- The ABB IRB 6400R lift cylinder is the only lift cylinder in the pair. With a 7" bore listed in the title, it's the one to focus on when your task is about the lifting side of the robot.
- The ABB RV250 reduction gear is the only reduction gear in the pair. The 11-1/2" outside diameter gives you a specific dimension to work with, and it addresses the gear-reduction function instead of the lift function.
Product notes
ABB IRB 6400R Palletizer Industrial Robot Lift Cylinder 7" Bore
This used ABB cylinder carries the lower listed price of the two. The 7" bore is the clear spec that separates it from the reduction gear, and the model number IRB 6400R ties it to the same palletizer family. Choose it when your palletizing line conveyor issue is a lift cylinder, not a gear. The limitation is scope: it's a single lift cylinder, so it won't cover the reduction-gear function.
ABB RV250 IRB 6400R Palletizer Robot Reduction Gear 11-1/2" OD
This used ABB RV250 reduction gear is the higher-priced item, and it's the one to look at when the gear-reduction side of the IRB 6400R is your concern. The 11-1/2" outside diameter is the key dimension in the title. It's the only product here that fits the reduction-gear role. The drawback is that it won't help if you actually need a lift cylinder, and the higher listed price means you're paying for that specific gear function.
Final choice by use case
Choose the ABB IRB 6400R lift cylinder if you want the lower listed price and your palletizing line conveyor needs the lifting component. Choose the ABB RV250 reduction gear if the gear reduction is the part you're after and you're comfortable with the higher listed price.
