RA Rodriguez (UK)
UK precision component supplier since 1968: bearings, gears, drives, and cycloidal reducers for robotics, aerospace, motorsport, and defence.
R.A. Rodriguez (UK) Limited was established in 1968 and is headquartered in Shefford, Bedfordshire. For over 55 years the company has supplied precision engineering components to manufacturers in robotics, aerospace, motorsport, military, nuclear, and offshore wind sectors. Certified to ISO 9001 and AS9120.
The portfolio covers bearings (Kaydon thin-section, McGill aerospace, SKF), gears (KHK master distributor; Framo Morat custom gears; Nabtesco cycloidal reducers — the dominant joint actuator in industrial robots), drives, and linear technology (Thomson ball bushings, GROB LinearChain push-pull actuators).
In 2011 the company added Robotiq cobot end effectors; by 2015 the automation business had grown enough to spin off as RARUK Automation under the same RARUK Holdings Ltd parent.
