180DE Cam Indexer Right Angle Shaft Output Rotary Indexing Drive High Torque

Product Specification

180DE Cam Indexer Overview

The HONEPAN 180DE cam indexer features a right-angle shaft output that delivers high-torque intermittent rotation for positioning fixtures and indexing drives. Its robust construction suits applications where the drive axis must change direction within a confined envelope, providing a powerful, space-saving solution for demanding automation.

With a hardened globoidal cam and precision needle rollers, the 180DE produces backlash-free indexing with a positive mechanical lock at every station. The durable, heat-treated components ensure long service life even under continuous high-torque operation.

Working Principle

Continuous input rotation drives the globoidal cam, which engages the right-angle output shaft's rollers to produce intermittent indexing. The cam's dwell section locks the shaft mechanically at each position, holding high-torque loads rigidly without external brakes or clamps.

Key Features

• Right-angle shaft output for flexible drive routing
• High-torque cam drive handles demanding loads
• Backlash-free indexing with mechanical station lock
• Durable heat-treated components for long life
• Reinforced housing resists deflection under load
• Sealed design protects against contamination
• Configurable stations up to 12 positions

Technical Specifications

Note 1: Input shaft GD² is the dwell value. Note 2: C1~C5 values are allowable values at a safety factor of 2.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a cam indexer and how does it work?

A cam indexer converts continuous motor rotation into precise intermittent (stop-and-go) rotary motion. A hardened globoidal cam engages needle roller followers on the output turret, advancing it one station per revolution and mechanically locking it during dwell — no electronic feedback, sensor, or brake is required.

2. What is the output type of the 180DE?

The 180DE features a Shaft (right angle) output, making it easy to mount dial plates, flanges, or fixtures directly. Its compact footprint integrates smoothly into automated assembly, packaging, and inspection workstations.

3. How many indexing stations are available?

The 180DE supports 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 (customizable). We can also custom-grind the cam profile for a different station count or dwell angle to match your exact production sequence.

4. What is the indexing accuracy?

Indexing accuracy is ±30 Sec. with repositioning accuracy of ±4 arcsec (±2 arcsec). This mechanical precision is maintained over a long service life thanks to the backlash-free cam-and-roller design.

5. What load and torque can it handle?

Please refer to the Technical Specifications table above for the allowable radial/axial loads (C1–C3), bending force (C4), input torque (C5), GD² (C6), and weight. For safety, all C1–C5 values are rated at a safety factor of 2.

6. Can you customize stations, dwell angle, or mounting interface?

Yes. We customize the number of stations, driving angle, dwell angle, cam curve, and mounting interface to your requirements. Send us your dial diameter, station count, payload, and cycle time for a tailored recommendation.

7. What is the MOQ, lead time, and warranty?

MOQ is 1 piece. Standard models ship within 4–20 days, and custom configurations may take longer. Every unit carries a 1-year warranty, a 60,000-hour design service life, and lifetime technical support.

8. What industries use HONEPAN cam indexers?

Our cam indexers are widely used in automated assembly, filling and capping, packaging, inspection, and machining systems across the automotive, electronics, hardware, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
