A cam indexing table is a mechanical transmission device used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It usually consists of the following main parts:
1. Cam: A cam is a cylindrical part with different shapes that drives the linear motion in a cam indexing table through rotary motion. The shape and size of the cam depends on the type of motion and speed required.
2. Housing: is a housing that holds the cam and other mechanical parts. It is usually made of materials such as cast iron, steel or aluminum alloys and has sufficient strength and rigidity.
3. Mandrel: The mandrel is a shaft used to support cams and other mechanical parts. It is usually made of high-strength steel or stainless steel and has sufficient strength and wear resistance.
4. Slider: A slider is a moving mechanical part that produces linear motion by making contact with a cam. It is usually made of steel or aluminum alloy and has sufficient strength and wear resistance.
5. Springs: Springs are used to keep the slider in position and provide the force necessary to keep the cams and other mechanical parts in position.
6. Seals: Seals are used to prevent lubricants and other liquids from entering the splitter housing and to keep it clean inside.
These are the common internal structural components of cam indexing tables, which may vary from model to model and application to application.
