The challenge is to design compact high-speed infeed and outfeed conveyors that have a small footprint yet provide excellent performance in terms of speed, acceleration, and starting torque.
Synchronous drum motors accelerate to their rated speed in milliseconds. This allows very short cycle times without complex servo-technology and also increases productivity.
Synchronous drum motors from Momentum can deliver a high torque very slowly or very fast. This means they can be used in a lot of new applications – even as replacements for servomotors in start-stop packaging processes.
The challenge is to design compact high-speed infeed and outfeed conveyors that have a small footprint yet provide excellent performance in terms of speed, acceleration, and starting torque. Conveyor designs that use external motors must account for the high starting torque of the side-flanged motor to avoid twisting or unwanted vibration.
This is a highly complex design task. Momentum Technologies solves this challenge with its compact, all-in-one synchronous drum motor design. Here, the starting and braking torques are fully aligned with the force axis of the conveyor, making the motor — which achieves speeds of up to 2.5 m/s — an integral and 100% vibration-free part of the conveyor without additional design effort.
The customer is very satisfied with the solution from NGI TechDrive and sees NGI as an innovative partner with whom they can cooperate on future projects.
