140DE Rotary Indexing Table Overview

The HONEPAN 140DE rotary indexing table uses a right-angle drive to translate horizontal input rotation into vertical intermittent indexing. This arrangement is ideal for automation cells where the motor must sit beside, rather than below, the indexing axis, maximizing usable machine envelope while preserving precise rotary motion.

Its precision cam and needle rollers produce crisp, locked indexing with minimal backlash, and the sturdy housing minimizes deflection under load. The 140DE is a dependable choice for compact rotary tables, feeders, and right-angle positioning stations.

Working Principle

The motor drives the input shaft, rotating a globoidal cam that engages rollers on the right-angle output. Each cam rotation advances the output through one station, then the dwell section locks it mechanically. This cam-and-roller engagement provides accurate, repeatable intermittent rotation without electronic feedback.

Key Features

• Right-angle configuration saves vertical space
• Precision cam and rollers produce crisp, locked indexing
• Sturdy housing minimizes deflection under load

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 140DE?

The 140DE features a Shaft (right angle) 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 140DE 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.
