Right Angle Rotary Indexer Applications

When an application requires speed and consistency in a right angle output, Motion Index Drives’ globoidal Right Angle Rotary Indexer is an ideal solution. These units feature extremely low internal inertia and a compact cam follower design, allowing for up to 1,000 cycles per minute.

Globoidal-Cam

Built for Speed, Designed for Accuracy

The TG Series features a globoidal cam mechanism housed within a durable steel body, offering exceptional stability in high-speed environments. Its design minimizes backlash while maintaining consistent accuracy — crucial for applications that require precise positioning and repeatability.

While the TG Series excels in speed, its low internal inertia means it’s best suited for light to moderate load applications, where rapid cycling takes priority over heavy payload capacity.

Ideal Applications for the TG Series Rotary Indexer

The TG Series Right Angle Rotary Indexer plays a vital role in high-volume production environments, including:

  • Consumer goods manufacturing – Plastic components, toys, and household items

  • Food and packaging automation – Lightweight packaging materials like cereal boxes or snack containers

  • Electronics and semiconductor assembly – Where precision alignment and fast indexing are critical

These applications benefit from the TG Series’ blend of high-speed performance and reliable precision — ensuring minimal downtime and maximum throughput.

Versatility Across Model Sizes

Larger TG Series models extend this performance to a broader range of automation systems. Although speed advantages diminish with size, they still outperform traditional barrel cam or flat cam indexers.

This makes the TG Series an excellent choice for tooling and product positioning systems that utilize motor-off dwell periods, where smooth motion and accuracy are essential.

Why Choose Motion Index Drives

For more than 50 years, Motion Index Drives has been a trusted partner in precision motion control, offering innovative solutions tailored to your production needs. The TG Series Right Angle Rotary Indexer exemplifies their commitment to engineering excellence — combining speed, accuracy, and reliability in one compact unit.
