What is A flange output cam indexer
The flange output cam indexer is a mechanical device for precise indexing and positioning, usually used in automation and mechanical transmission systems. Its characteristics are that the rotary motion is precisely controlled by the engagement of the cam and the roller, and the output end is equipped with a flange interface for easy connection with the motor or other equipment. The flange output design makes installation easier and is suitable for applications that require high precision and reliability, such as assembly lines, conveyor systems and packaging equipment. It has the advantages of high load capacity, low backlash and high resolution.
As a cam indexer manufacturer, our flange output cam indexer specifications are 45DF,60DF,70DF,80DF,110DF,140DF,180DF, and 250DF. The number of stations are 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,16,20,24,30,32,36,40,48 and so on, we also support customization. We can additionally make the output shaft hollow if you need it to be. Models are 45DFH, 60DFH, 70DFH, 80DFH, 110DFH, 140DFH, 180DFH, and 250DFH.
Product Core Advantages
Structural and Installation Advantages
Flange-type output design: Integrated screw holes and dowel pin holes on the plate provide a 30% larger mounting area than traditional shaft-type outputs, providing a more secure connection and reducing vibration.
Compatible with various installation scenarios: Horizontal or vertical mounting adapts to various equipment layouts, improving installation efficiency by 40%.
Performance Highlights
Load Capacity: Supports loads from a few kilograms to over 500 kg (depending on the model). The DF series (45DF-250DF) offers torques from 50 to 3000 Nm.
Flexible Station Count: Standard configurations range from 2 to 48 stations (e.g., 2/4/6/8/12/24), with customizable configurations to meet the needs of simultaneous multi-process operations.
Special Customization Options: The DFH series offers a hollow output shaft design (45DFH-250DFH) for easy wiring and piping, saving internal equipment space.
Typical application scenarios
1. Automated lines of production
Particularly in automated assembly lines where exact positioning and indexing are needed, flange output cam indexers find extensive application. Precise assembly and processing are made possible by the accurate position and movement control made possible by linking a motor to a cam indexer.
2. Conveyors
Flange output cam indexers enable precise control of conveyed item position and spacing in conveyor belt systems. Often employed in intermittent conveyor belts, it guarantees that objects remain in a designated place and are indexed at the right moment.
3. Packaging tools
Flange output cam indexers are applied in the packaging sector to precisely place and arrange cans, bottles, or other packing containers. The cam indexer guarantees, for filling, capping, labelling and other operations, in a bottling line, that the bottle can stop precisely in the designated position.
4. CNC tools and processing equipment for machines
Commonly utilised in CNC machine machines to offer exact indexing control are flange output cam indexers. Cam indexers allow sophisticated machining processes including drilling, milling, or cutting by precisely regulating the workpiece rotation in various uses.
5. Rotary Stages and Equipment
Flange output cam indexers can offer consistent and dependable indexing control in applications including rotary stages and rotary platforms that need for exact rotation control. Microphones, optical tools, and test instruments all frequently feature it.

Selection Guide
Specify load weight and operating speed: For light loads (<100kg), select 45DF/60DF; for medium-to-heavy loads (100-500kg), recommend 110DF/140DF.
Confirm workstation requirements: Standard workstations (2-48) can be selected directly; non-standard workstations require angular spacing parameters.
Special Requirements: If a hollow shaft (wire/pipe threading) is required, select the DFH series and specify the required bore diameter.

FAQ
Q: What is the main difference between shaft output and flange output?
A: The main distinctions are in how stable the connections are and what situations they can be used in. Flange outputs use a big plate with holes for locating pins and screws to hold things in place. This has more than 30% more contact surface than shaft outputs, which makes it better at resisting vibration and torque. These are good for equipment that needs to carry a lot of weight (≥100kg) or be very precise (within ±0.02°), such automotive components assembly lines. Shaft outputs are lighter and work better in tight locations with light loads, such small packaging machines. Flange outputs are better if the apparatus starts and stops a lot or the load changes.
Q: Does the way equipment is mounted (horizontally or vertically) change how well it works? What steps should be taken to be safe?
A: Both mounting methods don't change basic performance, however they do need specific changes:
Horizontal installation: To avoid uneven strain on the cam and roller from tilt, make sure the mounting surface is level to within a tolerance of ≤0.1mm/m (a spirit level is the best way to do this).
Vertical installation: You need to provide more support to the output connection (such a locknut) and choose a model with a 10% to 20% torque buffer to make up for the effects of gravity on transmission.
To reduce mechanical wear, both techniques need a coaxial tolerance of ≤0.1mm between the motor and the divider input shaft.
Q: How do I choose the right motor model? What parameters should I consider?
A: The motor's rated torque and operating speed must be considered in combination with the device's load:
Torque: The motor's output torque must be ≥ 1.2 times the device's rated torque (e.g., a 110DF model with a rated torque of 800 Nm requires a motor with a rating of ≥ 960 Nm).
Speed: The motor's speed should be compatible with the device (usually 10-200 RPM). If a higher speed is required, confirm whether the device supports it (e.g., the DFH series supports up to 250 RPM).
Type: For high-precision applications (such as electronic testing), choose a servo motor (with encoder feedback). For low-cost applications (such as low-speed conveying), choose a stepper motor.
Q: The positioning accuracy of the device suddenly drops during operation. What could be the cause?
A: Common Causes and Solutions:
Cam or Roller Wear (common after 8,000 hours of operation): Check the contact surfaces for scratches. Severe wear requires replacement.
Loose Bolts: Loose flange or motor bolts can cause play and require re-tightening using a torque wrench to the standard torque (usually 30-50 N·m).
Insufficient Lubrication: Lack of lubrication between the cam and roller increases friction and requires additional high-temperature grease.
Excessive Load: Prolonged loads exceeding 120% of the rated load can cause transmission deformation. Reduce the load or replace with a higher-torque model.
Q: What routine maintenance tasks are required? How often?
A: Daily: Before starting the machine, check for abnormal noise and oil leaks (if leaks are detected, replace the seals).
Weekly: Clean the flange and the area around the input shaft (compressed air can be used to blow dust away to prevent it from entering the machine body).
Every 3 months: Check the tightness of the connecting bolts and relubricate (using the grease nipple).
Every 12 months: Stop the machine and check the clearance between the cam and roller (normal clearance should be ≤0.03mm; any clearance outside this tolerance requires adjustment or replacement).
