In automated production environments where multiple stations must operate in perfect timing, synchronization becomes a critical part of machine design. Coordinating multiple indexing mechanisms through sensors and control logic can add complexity, increase costs, and introduce additional points of failure. A simpler and highly reliable approach is mechanical synchronization using a single driveshaft . By driving multiple Sankyo Automation Indexing Drives  from a shared jacksh

Precise motion control is critical when driving robot arms and other dynamic masses—especially in applications that involve frequent direction changes. The RollerDrive  from Sankyo Automation  is engineered to deliver smooth, controlled motion in these demanding environments. With a zero-backlash design, the RollerDrive provides consistent performance during oscillation and rotation, even under changing load conditions. Zero-Backlash Motion for Dynamic Loads The RollerDrive’s

Accurate motor performance starts with precise core assembly. For manufacturers that require exact angular control during motor core stacking and lamination, the RollerDrive  from Sankyo Automation  provides a simple, repeatable solution. Designed for high-precision rotary positioning, the RollerDrive enables controlled indexing at virtually any angle—supporting consistent, high-quality motor core lamination. Index to Any Position for Precise Staggering The RollerDrive can be

When large, heavy substrates need to be rotated with precision, the drivetrain matters just as much as the structure supporting it. That’s where Sankyo Automation ’s RollerDrive  stands apart. Designed specifically for demanding rotary applications, the RollerDrive delivers smooth, controlled motion—even under high thrust loads—without the compromises typically associated with large-format turning systems. Zero-Backlash Performance for Large Substrates At the core of the Roll

When a project requires rotating a large, multi-sided fixture, the Sankyo Indexing Drive  provides controlled, reliable motion through a geared indexing system. Each rotation moves the fixture to a new working surface, allowing multiple operations or product variants to be handled within the same machine. One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. Each side of the fixture can support a different setup, which makes it possible to run multiple product models without constant

When polishing glass edges, every index needs to be accurate, stable, and repeatable. Sankyo’s RollerDrive® cam mechanism  is designed for this type of work, giving machine builders a rigid, zero-backlash motion system that stays in position even when polishing forces are applied. The setup indexes the glass substrate from station to station. With right-angle input and output shafts , the unit takes up very little space, making it easy to fit into tight polishing work cells o

For applications that need fast, accurate positioning, Sankyo’s RollerDrive® cam mechanism  delivers smooth, controlled motion without any backlash. When paired with a servomotor, the system can move quickly from position to position while maintaining excellent repeatability and short settling times. Because there’s no mechanical play , motion stays stable even during rapid indexing, making it ideal for high-speed automation, inspection systems, material handling, and other p
