 D Series Miniature Type
2.8D, 3.8D
 

In 1984, Sankyo answered the demands for a miniature cam index drive. The Miniature series (D/E) became the world's smallest indexing drive to use a roller gear cam mechanism. The small diameter cam follower used in this model is an original Sankyo design. The housing construction is also reduced in weight and size. Not everything has been miniaturized. The miniature type kept pace with the demands for performance and speed by using another Sankyo design innovation, the SMS-3 cam curve (Sankyo Modified Sine). This model is ideal for a variety of peripheral equipment such as indexing lightweight tables and part handling.

Features

•Standard line of two models:2.8D(shaft-to-shaft distance:28mm)and 3.8D (shaft-to-shaft distance:38mm)
•Also suitable for equipment with low number of stops(2 to 12).
•Can be installed in a variety of positions and mounting orientations for use in many different applications.
•Suitable for escapements.
•There are three standard styles equipped with torque limiters and motors:
(1)OPUS-1 Indexing drive output shaft equipped with torque limiter.
(2)OPUS-2 Indexing drive input shaft equipped with motor.
(3)OPUS-3 Indexing drive input shaft equipped with motor; output shaft equipped with torque limiter.

 
7MI
 

The 7MI miniature multiple-indexing model was developed to meet the demands for a smaller, more accurate and more economical indexer drive for rotary automated machinery.
The MI series has the qualities of the miniature D/E series such as the SMS-3 cam curve, specially designed small diameter cam follower, and light weight compact housing construction. The added feature of the MI series is the large flange surface in respect to the housing size. This flange surface enables multiple indexing which is ideal for automated assembly machines, filling machines and other applications with multiple tasks. The MI series is sure to enhance the performance of your machine.
