Trunnion Index Drives Overview
Motion Index Drives’ Trunnion Index Drive units utilize our RT, TR, or TMF Series rotary index drives mounted in a vertical position. Trunnion Index Drives are ideal for moving large masses with smaller units and minimizing the equipment’s footprint on the floor. All trunnion units can be ordered with standard or custom frames fully equipped with head and tailstock supports and one-piece base weldments.
