Gearbox Selection for Indexing Tables | ANDANTEX

By Load Diameter, Center of Gravity, Offset Load, Use angle and cycle time to calculate overturning moment and inertia.

MotorMatch by Application

Recommended ModelHollow Rotary Table

Key ParametersOverturning Moment / Inertia

Operating ConditionsIntermittent Indexing / Offset Load

WORKING CONDITIONS

What Matters Most When Selecting for This Application?

Total Weight Is Not the Only Factor, The farther the load is from the rotation center, The greater the rotational inertia.
Offset loads create overturning moments, Check the allowable values for the table bearings.
The shorter the positioning time, The higher the acceleration/deceleration torque, A larger frame or more rigid structure may be needed.

NT / PAG / PLX

Determine from Load & Cycle Requirements

WHY THIS STRUCTURE

Integrated Bearing & Mounting Table, Reduces External Support Structures, Leaves a central passage for cables and pneumatic lines.

Disc flanges simplify turntable connection, For higher loads, still verify the offset radius and overturning moment.

Suitable where external bearings or a turntable structure already exist, Balances general-purpose interfaces with precision performance.
