Sankyo's D Series features compact cast iron housing design with single or dual shaft outputs. This series includes the world's smallest at 56 x 80 x 56 mm high. Conveyors can be coupled to the shaft with our TC series torque limiting clutch. A globoidal cam rotates Sankyo made needle bearing type cam followers. Optimizing the cam follower diameter inherently maximizes torque transfer and extends the life hours due to fewer rotations with increased surface contact. Multiple index periods offer continuous or on demand duty cycles with the indexing flange locking in position within 30 to 72 arc seconds during the dwell period (depending on the housing size). The output turret is mounted with top and bottom bearings which supports large bending moments, increase rigidity and maintain reliability.

These versatile units index in both directions, oscillate or perform non-patterned motions with a continuous lead cam using servo drive motors. Most units are driven with geared motors that are within the height of the index unit housing or Sankyo's R series low backlash worm drive reducer with C-face motor adapters. The output can be customized with dual output shafts to mount sprockets on both sides of the index or low inertia for high speed. Timing cam packages are offered with inexpensive photo beam sensors or proximity switches for wash down (IP67/NEMA-6/6P) applications.
