What types of index drives does IMC offer?
IMC offers all three types of index drives: Roller Gear Indexers use a globoidal cam in conjunction with followers mounted radially outward from the circumference of the follower wheel. The input shaft is perpendicular to the output shaft. Roller gear index drives are compact and low-profile and have motion flexibility due to relatively large cams. They have flanged output capability for dial mounting applications , through-hole capability and 2 to 24 stop range. RG-illus (12K) Right Angle Indexers use cylindrical or barrel cams with followers mounted parallel to the axis of the output and the input shaft perpendicular to the output shaft. They are the most compact design for a given output capacity, with the cam tucked partially under the output wheel. Right angle indexers provide a fixed center distance between the input and output shafts, flanged output capability for dial mounting application, through-hole capability and 3 to 24 stop range.
