Compact Cam Indexer

Compact Cam Indexer, also known as Compact Cam indexing Drive, is a type of cam indexer with compact structure and small volume, which is widely used in automation equipment.

Compact Cam Indexer is a high-precision indexing device with high space utilization. By optimizing the mechanical structure, the volume of traditional cam dividers is reduced by 30% to 50%, while maintaining the same indexing accuracy (within ± 15 arcseconds) and load capacity. The core design concept is to achieve high power density transmission within a limited space, meeting the miniaturization and integration requirements of modern automation equipment.

Compact Cam Indexer usually is composed of a cam and an output turret, with no additional components, the structure is simple and compact. The cam meshes with the needle roller bearing installed on the output shaft indexing shaft, and the needle roller bearing embedded on the circumferential surface of the indexing disc linearly contacts the corresponding inclined surface of the cam.

Compact Cam Indexer has the Performance advantages like this:high transmission torque, high indexing accuracy, stable operation, self-locking during positioning, low noise, good high-speed performance, and long service life. Due to preloading the cam and cam rollers, clearance can be avoided, making their operation reliable and high-speed, and reducing the impact force caused by load or vibration.

There are various types of output shafts of Compact Cam Indexer, including shaft type and flange type, which facilitate the installation of workbench, swing arm, sprocket and other accessories. Some Compact Cam Indexeres adopt short shaft and small flange output forms, which can be positioned through flange and disc installation and locked with small flange screws.
