Camco Index Drives & Servo Positioners

Made in the USA

Camco, a division of DESTACO

Represented by EAC in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia

Camco builds cam-actuated index drives, dial plate indexers and servo positioners that machine builders design into multi-station assembly and test machines. The cam gives fixed, repeatable index and dwell with no motion programming and a very long service life; the servo positioners add programmable indexing on the same mechanical platform. EAC is the Camco representative for PA, NJ, MD, DE and VA and sizes drives with builders from the first layout.

Product families

Camco RDM roller gear dial plate index drive

Dial plate indexing

RDM and RD roller gear dial index drives

Low-profile drives that carry the dial plate directly on a large-diameter bearing, so the dial mounts to the drive rather than to a separate shaft and bearing arrangement.

High overturning moment capacity for large, loaded dials
Short index periods with high positional accuracy
Multiple mounting configurations

Index drives

Roller gear, ring, parallel and right-angle drives

Cam-driven index drives with shaft or flange outputs (RGD/RDS), ring drives with large through-holes for utilities, parallel index drives for linear transfer, right-angle drives and heavy-duty E-Series units.

Stops, index period and motion profile fixed in the cam
Very high cycle rates
Supplied with motor, reducer and clutch brake, or a servo package

Programmable indexing

GTB and PGM servo indexers

The PGM series uses a precision servo reducer with a preloaded parallel cam structure and an integrated motor clamp, lubricated for life. Built for small, high-speed positioning and for sub-positioning on larger servo systems, with a large through-hole for utilities in tight machines.

PGM40: flange output, about 566 in-lb start/stop torque, 60 arc-sec backlash
Changeable index angles and station counts for recipe changes between products
Fixturing and test, assembly, plastic molding and CNC machining

An indexer sits on a base, carries a dial and feeds stations. EAC represents the lines builders pair with it.
