Modular drum motors
26 May 2018
Interroll’s new motor platform offers a completely modular design, encompassing both synchronous and asynchronous technologies. Available first in 80mm-diameter drums with plans to expand to the entire Interroll range.

The platform makes it easy to combine all components and is said to guarantee short and reliable delivery times. Options such as encoders, brakes and return stops make it easier for system integrators and OEM’s to plan and implement efficient materials-handling solutions. The motors are IP69K protected and can be quickly cleaned, especially compared to gear-motors.
Featuring stronger shafts and ball bearings, this guarantees a long service life, while robust planetary gears make it possible to transfer high levels of torque to conveyor belts efficiently and quietly. An expanded number of gear stages provides a greater speed range, making it easier to design conveyor systems that achieve throughput requirements precisely.
There is an option for a simple plug-in connection, reducing downtime for maintenance and repair work, resulting in considerable cost advantages for the user.
