This is our most commonly used indexing drive. It uses a combination of roller gear cam and cam followers to meet the two most desirable requirements, greater speed and accuracy. Available in input to output center distances from 45 to 180 mm.
Wide Product Lineup
Available in many sizes and indexing configurations.
High Speed
High speed input (700 rpm)
High Efficiency
Low frictional torque reduces hysteresis loss.
Flexible Mounting Positions
Index mounts in any position with gearmotor mounting on either side of the index.
- Electronic component assembly machines
- Plaster container manufacturing equipment
- Food filling and wrapping machines
- Various assembly and inspection machines
