Customer Profile
Customer is a recognized leader in precision conveyors since 1966. This customer offers a wide range of conveyor solutions to a variety of industries including packaging, industrial automation, food processing, material handling, pharmaceutical, medical, and more.
Conveyors move objects at relatively slow speeds with loads that vary as product enters and exits the belt. Direct drive requires smooth motor operation at speeds down to 10 RPM and constant velocity even under varying loads.
Incorporate a direct drive motor solution that reduces the overall drive system cost and minimizes drive system inventory. Eliminate the need for the gearbox due to it’s poor reliability and lower efficiency impact on the customer experience.
Application Description
Conveyors move both large and small objects at relatively slow speeds, with frequent starts and stops. They require high torque to accelerate to full speed quickly and smoothly.
Key Customer Goals
Incorporate a direct drive motor solution that reduces the overall drive system cost. Eliminate the need for the gearbox due to it’s poor reliability and lower efficiency impact on the customer experience.
High Torque, Wide Range of Speeds
Key Problems Solved by ETM Motors
One ETM M100 motor can replace 8 conventional motors and 42 motor/gear combinations.
Load-Carrying Capability
The motors higher efficiency enables the conveyor to carry much higher loads across a broader speed range.
Reduced Inventory Costs
The motor’s broad torque/speed operating range enables a single motor to replace many motor/gear combinations.
Improved Efficiency
ETM Motors can operate over 92% efficiency and require no gearbox reducing energy losses by 60-80% so the motor runs cooler.
Improved Reliability
ETM’s direct drive motor delivers a higher MTBF by eliminating the gearbox and reducing the number of moving parts.
Smaller Motor Footprint
ETM’s smaller, lighter motor enables new, more flexible mounting designs
