TURN-DEX by Turn-Act

Manufacturer: Turn-Act

Turn-Dex is a rotary actuator with an internal unidirectional clutch. The output shaft rotates in one direction only and remains at end of stroke while the actuator is reversed. Turn-Dex is available in two series: the Comp-Act, incorporating the Comp-Act actuator and the Turn-Act, incorporating the Turn-Act actuator.

Applications Include:

• Turntable Work Stations
• Drive Conveyor Rollers or Belts
• Drive Material Feed Rollers
• Ratchet Type Drive
• Sheet Feed Material From a Stack
• Perstalsis Pump Drive
• Low Speed High Torque Motor
• Product Mixing

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS:

Overrun: The output shaft can be manually rotated only in its drive direction. Large loads may coast after the actuator has stopped. The output shaft cannot be reverse rotated- Forcing it backwards could damage the Turn-Dex.

Accurate & Repeatabte Positioning: Due to the overrun nature of the clutch external stops, brakes, ro«er and detents or shot-pins is required for accurate and repeatable positioning.

Special Options: Turn-Act will provide customized units to fit your specific application needs. Modifications include special shafting, special mounts, dutch housings with shot-pin cylinders, disc brakes and thrust protection.
