Intermittent Drive series AP is a mechanical parallel axis unit which transforms the uniform rotation of the inlet shaft in an intermittent rotation of the output shaft by means of lwo conjugated cams engaged with cam followers fixed to the indexing disco. The output shaft is hollow, so hoses, wires, etc., can pass through it. It's also possible to connect it to a mechanical transmission. The intermittent drive is best suited for high frequency applications or low precision-Iow cost applications. The number of standard indexings ranges from 1 to 8. The intermittent drive AP is best used to power linear transfer and light rotary index applications like: - Assembling machines - Packing equipment - Manufacturing equipment - Automated welding machines - Movement devices - Machining isles - Filling machines - Printing machines Operating Principle Index number and cam transfer angles Power drive unit assembling position   Download the data sheets (pdf format)   AP 40 AP 55 AP 70 AP 85 AP 110   AP 135 AP 165 AP 200 AP 250
