Original Press Release:

Repeatability Between 15 -30 Arc Seconds is a Standard Feature that is Available in the ECO Series Precision Indexers from Sankyo America

Sankyo America's new ECO series is designed to be an economical and ecological conscious index drive, while surpassing all the valuable features from our current product range. While the ECO series continues to provide high-speed performance, superior accuracy, reliability, and rigid structure, it also achieves a clean and easy interface.

In detail, the machined housing is nickel-plated to offer an extremely flat and smooth surface. The output shaft is a flange with an integrated shaft that many accessories, such as a table or sprocket, can be easily mounted on. The grease lubrication gives the ECO series maintenance free operation. Furthermore, the revised design allows Sankyo America to offer the ECO series at significant cost savings. In order to meet today's design requirements, peripheral equipment is also available for the ECO series. Optional equipment includes torque limiters for overload protection, worm gear reducers for a reliable input drive, and cam balancers to eliminate vibration due to unstable input rotation.
