Transmission Selection for Indexing Tables

By Load Diameter, Center of Gravity, Offset Load, Indexing Angle, Use positioning time and cycle requirements to calculate overturning moment and rotational inertia, Then choose a planetary gearbox or hollow rotary table.

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.

WHY THIS STRUCTURE

Why This Transmission Structure Is Recommended?

For hollow cable routing and direct load support, consider NT Series

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

For high-rigidity disc-flange output, consider PLX

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

Square-Flange Structure, For general installation and cost priorities, consider PAG

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