70DS Rotary Indexing Table Cam Driven Rotary Positioner Dial Indexer for Feeding Machine

70DS Rotary Indexing Table Overview

The HONEPAN 70DS rotary indexing table uses a cam-driven mechanism to turn a dial plate through precise angular steps, making it a dependable core for automatic feeding machines and rotary dial assembly equipment. Each index is mechanically locked, so the table remains rock-steady while downstream tooling operates, eliminating the drift and vibration common with less rigid positioning methods.

Built on a sturdy cast housing with a hardened globoidal cam and needle roller followers, the 70DS delivers smooth acceleration and deceleration that reduces shock to tooling and extends the life of your fixtures. Its flexible station count adapts readily to varied feeding layouts and process sequences.

Working Principle

Motor rotation drives the input shaft and globoidal cam. The cam's rib profile pushes the output table through one angular step per revolution, then the dwell section locks the table in place. This mechanical lock requires no power to hold, so positioning remains stable even during pauses in the production cycle.

Key Features

• Cam-driven indexing with positive mechanical locking at every station
• Smooth acceleration and deceleration reduce shock to tooling
• Sturdy cast housing damps vibration for clean positioning
• Flexible station count matches varied feeding layouts
• Backlash-free rolling contact for consistent accuracy
• Sealed, lubricated internals for low-maintenance operation
• Durable 42CrMoAl cam with HRC 50-72 hardness

Technical Specifications

Note 1: Input shaft GD² is the dwell value. Note 2: C1~C5 values are allowable values at a safety factor of 2.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a cam indexer and how does it work?

A cam indexer converts continuous motor rotation into precise intermittent (stop-and-go) rotary motion. A hardened globoidal cam engages needle roller followers on the output turret, advancing it one station per revolution and mechanically locking it during dwell — no electronic feedback, sensor, or brake is required.

2. What is the output type of the 70DS?

The 70DS features a Table output, making it easy to mount dial plates, flanges, or fixtures directly. Its compact footprint integrates smoothly into automated assembly, packaging, and inspection workstations.

3. How many indexing stations are available?

The 70DS supports 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 (customizable). We can also custom-grind the cam profile for a different station count or dwell angle to match your exact production sequence.

4. What is the indexing accuracy?

Indexing accuracy is ±30 Sec. with repositioning accuracy of ±4 arcsec (±2 arcsec). This mechanical precision is maintained over a long service life thanks to the backlash-free cam-and-roller design.

5. What load and torque can it handle?

Please refer to the Technical Specifications table above for the allowable radial/axial loads (C1–C3), bending force (C4), input torque (C5), GD² (C6), and weight. For safety, all C1–C5 values are rated at a safety factor of 2.

6. Can you customize stations, dwell angle, or mounting interface?

Yes. We customize the number of stations, driving angle, dwell angle, cam curve, and mounting interface to your requirements. Send us your dial diameter, station count, payload, and cycle time for a tailored recommendation.

7. What is the MOQ, lead time, and warranty?

MOQ is 1 piece. Standard models ship within 4–20 days, and custom configurations may take longer. Every unit carries a 1-year warranty, a 60,000-hour design service life, and lifetime technical support.

8. What industries use HONEPAN cam indexers?

Our cam indexers are widely used in automated assembly, filling and capping, packaging, inspection, and machining systems across the automotive, electronics, hardware, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
