71-040-031: KUKA KRC2 counterbalancing system for KR125-200
Rebuilt from individual evidence
System role and integration
Unknown: evidence limits are source-limited.
Fresh evidence identifies 71-040-031 as KUKA KRC2 counterbalancing system for KR125-200.
KUKA describes the counterbalancing system as a hydropneumatic assembly between the rotating column and link arm that minimizes moments about axis 2.
System role: Regulates the mechanical load around axis 2 in the referenced KUKA robot mechanism. Sits mechanically between the robot's rotating column and link arm.
Unknown: pressure state, seal condition, exact robot variant, and installation history are not established by the consulted sources.

System role
This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.
- Function
- Regulates the mechanical load around axis 2 in the referenced KUKA robot mechanism.
- System position
- Sits mechanically between the robot's rotating column and link arm.
- Upstream / inputs
- Receives the mechanical load and dynamic movement forces generated around the robot's axis 2.
- Downstream / outputs
- Reduces the moment that the axis-2 drive mechanism must handle during motion and at rest.
- Limitations
- Unknown: pressure state, seal condition, exact robot variant, and installation history are not established by the consulted sources.
