Nexen Group Announces New Line of High Torque and Moment Load Capacity Rotary Indexers

Nexen Group 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."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
