FD CAM Reducer

Camfield Engineers offers the FD Cam Reducer, which is a zero-backlash precision reducer that is highly accurate, rigid and durable mechanism. It’s zero backlash characteristics are due to the unique preload mechanisms and its high accuracy and high transmission efficiency eliminate performance variation problems due to abrasion while maintaining high performance on a long term basis. It also significantly enhances the performance of motion controls. It ensures a new dimension of high-precision motion control with a wide variety of applications such as automated machines, robots and power transmissions. Dynamics of operation: The FD Cam reducer, a zero backlash reducer, is optimally designed for high accuracy reduction. One of the superb motion control mechanisms, the FD cam reducer is optimally designed for high accuracy reduction. It consists of main parts such as an input shaft, a cam follower and a turret supporting the cam follower. The cross-section of the FD cam reducer is wedge-shaped and this wedge completely eliminates any backlash taking up the space between the two cam followers. Each cam follower has a roller bearing inside. Since all contact areas are in rolling contact, they are not subject to abrasive wear, thus maintaining steady accuracy. The mechanism has a very simple arrangement, hence of very high accuracy, durability and reliability.
