Overview

Parallel Indexers are typically used for continuous duty cycles with cams configured to match the indexing transfer and idle times of the supported machinery. These units are ideal for driving conveyors and synchronizing with other equipment. Short index period cams yield long conveyor feed pitches. Our full line of adjustable torque limiting clutches can eliminate the need for indirect belt drives. Globoidal and parallel cams ensure reliability. Captive taper bearings support large bending moments for single arm oscillation or non-supported dial with pressing applications. Shaft, flange, hollow or dual output shafts are optional configurations on most models. Class-10,000 cleanroom and corrosion resistant models are also available.

Short Index Period (P Series) The Parallel Index/P Series uses a parallel cam mechanism with parallel input and output shafts. Because it is easy to produce drives with any arbitrary small number of stops (e.g. 1,2,or 3), the P series is suitable for conveyers with long feed pitches.
