SECTION 9: THINGS TO AVOID (continued)
Friction from any source adds to the load of an indexer. This can include cam
driven mechanisms and/or additional, ancillary devices driven off the indexer’s drive
shaft or output. Extreme build-up of contamination or other sources of interference
adds to the frictional load. Industrial Motion Control indexers handle frictional loads
very well, but the loading must be evaluated in terms of the indexer’s overall
capacity to ensure that the life of the equipment will not be compromised.
IMPROPER LUBRICATION CAN RESULT IN IMMEDIATE
CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE UNIT.
