Nexen announces a new line of high torque and moment load capacity Rotary Indexers

Nexen Group's new X-Line has a redesigned roller pinion and a larger gear pitch to handle higher torque capacities that deliver accuracy, fast acceleration, high-speed positioning, increased load capacity, and true repeatability. The mounting features and the additional fastening points of the rigid cast housing in the X-Line are designed for a greater moment load capacity than a standard design. Additionally, systems can be designed for either low or zero backlash to meet the project specification.

Based on Nexen’s established Precision Ring Drive Systems, the new X-Line delivers up to 3 times more torque and 2.6 times moment load capacity in a compact package. Nexen offers the X-Line in a comprehensive range of models to fit several applications.

"We have designed the new X-Line Rotary Indexers from our customer requests to have a system that delivers higher torque and more load capacity," said Dave Hein, Vice President of Engineering. "Utilizing Nexen's patented technologies, we were able to create systems that deliver a solution for the most demanding applications that require precise positioning and higher peak torque inputs, allowing for faster indexing times."
