125DS Cam Index Drive With Motor Overview

The HONEPAN 125DS cam index drive is supplied as a ready-to-run package with a matched motor and gearmotor, removing the complexity and risk of motor selection for rotary indexing applications. This integrated solution ensures correct torque, speed, and inertia matching for your station count from day one, allowing the complete rotary indexing table to be mounted and commissioned with minimal engineering effort.

At its core, the 125DS retains the same backlash-free cam-and-roller architecture as our standalone indexers. The precision-ground globoidal cam and hardened needle rollers deliver smooth intermittent motion with a positive mechanical lock at every dwell, so your dial plate stays rigidly positioned without auxiliary brakes or electronic holding torque.

Working Principle

The integrated motor drives the input shaft, which rotates the globoidal cam. As the cam turns, its rib profile pushes the output turret through one index, then the dwell section of the profile seats against the rollers to lock the turret in place. This mechanical indexing cycle repeats continuously, converting constant motor speed into precise stop-and-go rotary motion.

Key Features

• Factory-matched motor, gearbox, and indexer for plug-and-play startup
• Pre-selected motor torque and speed eliminate sizing guesswork
• Backlash-free cam drive holds position without external locking
• Compact footprint suits automated assembly and packaging cells
• Configurable station count and dwell time per application
• Optional stepper, servo, or geared motor to match control architecture
• Vibration-damped mounting for quiet, stable operation

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 125DS?

The 125DS features a Table / Dial 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 125DS 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.
