45DF Heavy Duty Cam Indexer Overview

The HONEPAN 45DF heavy duty cam indexer is built with a reinforced housing and oversized output flange to withstand the high torque and shock loads of demanding industrial automation. It is the go-to choice for applications where smaller indexers would deflect or wear prematurely, delivering the strength and durability that heavy-duty rotary drives require.

Its deep-hardened cam profile and oversized bearings handle extreme duty cycles and high overturning moments, making the 45DF ideal for press transfer, heavy assembly, and high-torque rotary drives where rigidity and longevity are paramount.

Working Principle

Continuous input rotation drives a reinforced globoidal cam that engages the oversized flange's needle rollers. The mechanical dwell lock holds heavy loads rigidly, while the reinforced housing resists deflection under the highest torque and shock loads encountered in industrial automation.

Key Features

• Reinforced housing resists deflection under high torque
• Oversized flange output for heavy rotary fixtures
• Deep-hardened cam profile for extreme duty cycles
• High overturning-moment capacity for off-center loads
• Mechanical station lock with no holding torque required
• Oversized bearings for maximum load capacity
• Sealed, lubricated internals for long service life

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 45DF?

The 45DF features a Flange 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 45DF supports Fixed stations (custom count). 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.
