1、 In terms of strength and durability
If the main structural components of the cam indexing rotary table are made of high-strength alloy steel materials, such as chromium molybdenum alloy steel, their strength and toughness can be guaranteed. This makes the indexing drive less prone to deformation and damage when subjected to large loads and impact forces. For example, in automated stamping equipment, the punch generates significant impact force during high-speed reciprocating motion. The cam indexing gearbox made of high-strength materials can ensure accurate intermittent motion even under prolonged and frequent impact force, greatly improving the service life of the equipment.
2、 Accuracy maintenance aspect
The thermal stability of materials has a profound impact on the accuracy of cam indexing gearboxes. For example, using materials with low thermal expansion coefficients, such as certain special aluminum alloys or ceramic based composite materials. When the temperature of the intermittent divider changes during operation, the size changes of these materials are relatively small. In high-precision optical equipment assembly production lines, it is required that the cam indexing rotary table can accurately deliver components to fixed positions, and materials with good thermal stability can avoid the decrease in segmentation accuracy caused by temperature changes, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of optical products.
3、 In terms of friction and wear characteristics
The friction coefficient and wear resistance of materials are crucial in the material selection of moving parts such as cams and rollers in intermittent separators. If materials with good self-lubricating properties are used, such as oil bearing materials or metal materials with special coating treatment on the surface, it can effectively reduce the friction between components. In the food packaging production line, the operating frequency of cam rotation indexing drive is high, and good friction performance can reduce power loss and improve energy utilization efficiency. Meanwhile, wear-resistant materials can reduce component wear, extend component replacement cycles, and lower equipment maintenance costs.
4、 In terms of corrosion resistance
When intermittent separators are applied in humid or chemically corrosive environments, such as in chemical product filling production lines, the corrosion resistance of materials becomes particularly important. Intermittent dividers made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel can effectively prevent chemical substances from corroding their structure, ensure stable performance, and avoid problems such as moving parts getting stuck or accuracy decreasing due to corrosion.
