Overview
IMC Roller Gear Index Drives are designed for versatility and robustness, suitable for various applications. They offer flange or shaft output options and universal mounting capabilities. The flange version includes an optional center thru-hole for wiring or linkages. The oversized cam design supports short camshaft motion periods, ideal for continuous or oscillating motions.
Models and SpecificationsThe drives are available in 14 models, each with specific speed, load, and space requirements. Key specifications include:
- Output Load Capacity: Varies by model for radial, thrust/axial, and moment capacities.
- Accuracy and Repeatability: Detailed in arcseconds and inches for each model.
- Index Motion Capacities: Includes stops, index periods, and B10 capacity at 50 RPM.
Technical SpecificationsEach model has specific technical specifications, including:
- Radial, Thrust/Axial, and Moment capacities during index.
- Accuracy and Repeatability measurements at specified radii.
Models are identified with "D" for Dial (Flange) Output or "S" for Shaft Output. Additional configurations are available upon request.
Standard FeaturesAll models are metric with universal mounting options. Features include:
- Center Through Hole in RGD models.
- Right and Left Hand Cam options.
- Output Overload Clutch Models with various settings.
- Single or Dual Cycle Cam and Limit Switch.
- Relief in Dwell for shot-pin applications.
Accessories and OptionsAvailable accessories include:
- Gear Reducers with various ratios and motor adapters.
- DC and AC Motor Drive Packages with Varipak DC Motor Control or Inverter Drive.
- Removable Handwheel for initial setup.
