Nexen Announces New Line of Rotary Indexers
Nexen Group, Inc., announced a new line of Rotary Indexers. The X-Line delivers up to three times more torque and greater moment load capacity in a compact package.
Nexen’s 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 X-Line’s mounting features and the additional fastening points of the rigid cast housing are designed for a greater moment load capacity than a standard design. Additionally, systems can be designed for low or zero backlash to meet the project specifications.
"We 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."
