DX flapper drive mechanism
The rotational torque of the ASF motor is transmitted to the cap lift cam gear in the
maintenance unit. As shown below, the rotational torque is further transmitted via the link gear
holder DX ASSY and the link gear holder LT DX ASSY to the DX gear 25/18 mounted at the
right end of the duplex unit.
The rotational torque of the DX gear 25/18 is transmitted via the DX gear 18 and the DX cam
shaft gear to the DX cam shaft that rotates the DX cam. Engaged with the inner profile of the
DX cam, the DX flapper drive lever pivots the DX flapper up (horizontal position) and down
(backward-tilted position).
