Understand application scenarios and impact characteristics
Clarify the working environment: It is necessary to be aware of whether there are factors such as vibration and collision that may cause impact in the working environment of the cam indexer. For example, in some scenarios such as heavy machinery processing and high-speed automated production lines, there is a high possibility of impact.
Analyze the type of impact: Determine whether the impact is periodic or occasional, whether it is a high-energy instantaneous impact or a long-lasting low-frequency impact. Different types of impacts have different requirements for the impact resistance of cam indexing rotary tables.
Pay attention to the structure and materials of the indexing gearbox
Choose the appropriate structural type: Generally speaking, cam indexing devices have relatively strong impact resistance because their cam and needle roller bearings can withstand radial and axial forces well. Especially the roller cam splitter, which transmits motion through the rolling contact between the roller and the cam, can effectively disperse the impact force.
Consider material strength: Key components of the cam indexing rotating device, such as the cam and output shaft, should be made of high-strength materials. For example, high-quality alloy steel can improve its hardness and toughness, and enhance its impact resistance after undergoing heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering.
View performance parameters and metrics
Torque parameters: Choose a cam indexing drive with a higher rated torque. Rated torque is an important indicator for measuring the load-bearing capacity of a splitter. A larger rated torque means that the splitter can withstand greater external forces, including impact forces.
Dynamic load capacity: Pay attention to the dynamic load capacity indicator of the cam indexing rotary table, which reflects the working ability of the splitter when subjected to dynamic impact loads. Some manufacturers of cam indexing rotary gearboxes provide dynamic load coefficients, which can be calculated to determine the required dynamic load capacity of the splitter based on the impact situation in actual applications.
Reference brands and case studies
Brand reputation: Choose well-known brands and manufacturers of indexing gearboxes with good reputation. These manufacturers usually have more reliable guarantees in terms of product quality, impact resistance, etc. Their products have been tested in the market and have performed well in similar application scenarios.
Practical case: Understand whether the manufacturer has provided a good impact resistant splitter in projects similar to their own application scenarios. You can request relevant case materials from the manufacturer or contact users who have used the manufacturer's splitter to understand the impact resistance effect in actual use.
