Motion Index Drives, Inc. Product

Right Angle Index Drives convert a uniform input motion into an intermittent output motion. The intermittent output motion is transmitted through our induction-hardened, precision-machined globoidal cam.
Right Angle Indexers are ideal for high speed, high accuracy applications. These indexers convert a uniform input motion into an intermittent right angle output motion. Both the TG and TX Series are driven by flame hardened cams and have a robust design for high-stress environments. TG and TX Series indexers are offered in a fixed station configuration or as a 100% flexible turntable with a servo motor or standard AC brake motor with encoder.
