Component Specifications

Definition
A precision mechanical interface component that transmits rotational torque from the main drive system to the infeed starwheel in automated packaging equipment. It ensures synchronized motion between the drive mechanism and starwheel fingers for accurate product positioning and transfer.
Working Principle
Converts rotational input from drive motor/gearbox to controlled output motion through splined or keyed connection, maintaining precise angular alignment and torque transmission while accommodating minor misalignments.
Materials
Case-hardened alloy steel (e.g., 4140/4340) with surface hardness 58-62 HRC, corrosion-resistant coating optional
Technical Parameters
  • Max RPM 1200
  • Mounting Flange or direct coupling
  • Lubrication Grease-packed or oil-bath
  • Connection Type Splined/Keyed
  • Torque Capacity 50-200 Nm
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to 80°C
Standards
ISO 4156, DIN 5480, ISO 286-2
