Introduction
Sankyo's Roller Drive Technology offers a flexible cam technology for various indexing applications. The AR/ServoDEX series combines mechanical roller gear technology with a programmable servo motor, providing superior output torque and positioning accuracy. The roller gear cam mechanism ensures rigidity and accuracy due to its no-backlash nature, allowing for higher output torque and larger load transfer.
Benefits
  • Programmable stops and index/dwell time via a servo controller.
  • Ideal for fast cycle on-demand applications.
  • Supports skip index or reversible pattern indexing.
  • Offers excellent mechanical performance with ±45 arc seconds accuracy.
  • Available worldwide parts and service.
  • Compact design with motor drive package within index height.
Specifications
The AR/ServoDEX series features a roller gear indexer with internal reduction, low backlash planetary gear reducer, and customizable motor adapters. Optional components include Yaskawa Sigma II Servo Motor, motor driver, motion controller, and torque limiter.
