Lyndex-Nikken’s NCT200 CNC rotary table is designed to offer high clamping torque in a compact footprint.

The NCT200 CNC rotary table provides high indexing accuracy, repeatability and exceptional braking force due to its advanced 663-ft.-lbs. (900 Nm) clamping system. This clamping, combined with improved indexing, enhances machining productivity.

The NCT200 rotary table’s new drive system increases rigidity by 25% compared to previous models, ensuring long-term accuracy and precision for machining. This design also reduces overall maintenance cost.

Specifications of the NCT200 CNC rotary table include: diameter of table is 7.87" (200 mm) with face plate and 5.12" (130 mm) without face plate, clamping torque for braking system is 663 ft. lbs. (900 Nm) and indexing accuracy is ±20 sec. Nikken rotary tables are designed to provide wear resistance, rigidity and high-speed rotation.

Nikken rotary tables provide a patented carbide worm system comprised of a carbide worm screw, ion nitrided worm wheel (HV930) and hardened steel bearing surface (HRC58-60). The V-grade solid carbide worm screw helps to ensure high rigidity and virtually eliminates wear, according to the company. Compared with traditional worm system combinations (consisting of phosphorus bronze and aluminum bronze), wear is reduced by up to 8X, and overall accuracy is substantially increased. Additionally, the worm wheel has specially hardened, ion-nitrided treated teeth that eliminate sliding friction.
