B. INDEXING<br />

(INTERMITTENT FEED)<br />

Cam Behavior and Cam Clutch Operation<br />

In this application, reciprocal movement of a certain<br />

angle (θ) is provided at the outer race of the Cam<br />

Clutch to perform engagement and overrunning in turn<br />

continuously and obtain intermittent rotation. In the case<br />

of the Cam Clutch shown in the figure, when the outer<br />

race moves from A to B, the<br />

Cam Clutch engages to<br />

rotate the inner race (of the<br />

driven side) by angle θ, i.e.,<br />

from a to b. However, the<br />

Cam Clutch does not<br />

operate to stop the inner<br />

race at position b. When the<br />

outer race rotates in reverse<br />

from B to A, the Cam Clutch<br />

overruns while the inner race<br />

(of the driven side) does not rotate. By repeating this<br />

sequential movement, the inner race (of the driven side)<br />

rotates intermittently within the preset angle (θ).<br />

B-1. HIGH SPEED AND SMALL FEED<br />

ANGLE<br />

(Feed frequency: N = 300 to 1,200 times/min.)<br />

(Feed angle: θ = Up to 90°; N × θ = 20,000 max.)<br />

The example in the figure shows a roll feeding device<br />

which is frequently used in high-speed automatic<br />

clamp presses. Driving power is taken out of the<br />

eccentric disk provided at the end of the continuously<br />

rotating crankshaft, and this power drives the feed<br />

rolls intermittently through a Cam Clutch. The feed<br />

length can be changed quickly and easily for<br />

improved work efficiency. In order to attain highspeed,<br />

high-precision feeding, a cone brake with less<br />

torque fluctuation and a Cam Clutch for backstopping<br />

are used together.<br />

The Cam Clutches in this application are designed for<br />

use in the range of (N × θ) ≤ 20,000. Please consult<br />

TSUBAKI regarding clutches for use outside of this<br />

range.<br />

Roll feeding device example<br />

Advantages of indexing mechanisms that use Cam<br />

Clutches<br />

1. Accurate feeding without backlash.<br />

2. Feeding distance can be simply adjusted and is<br />

stepless.<br />

3. The indexing mechanism has low running costs.<br />
