Speed Control Conveyor Belt Systems

For conveyors where the speed needs to controlled or vary during operation Oriental Motor offers Brushless DC Motors & Gear Motors (BLDC Motors) that offer a wide speed control range and constant torque regardless of load.

By combining a control circuit with the motor, speed changes can be performed. Speed control motors are optimal for switching between high speed and low speed operation and for arbitrary adjustment of speed.

Oriental Motor also offers a range of gear options to reduce the motor speed and generate greater torque.

Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Gear Options

Parallel Shaft Gearheads

Hollow Shaft Flat Gearheads

Parallel Shaft

Parallel Shaft gearheads reduce the motor speed and generate greater torque. A wide range of gear ratios are available.

Hollow Shaft Flat Gear

Direct connection to the drive shaft is possible without using a connecting part which enables equipment space saving. In addition, the hollow shaft flat gearhead enables permissible torque without saturation even at high gear ratios, so the motor torque can be fully utilized.

Fixed Speed Conveyor Belt Systems

For fixed speed or constant speed conveyors and conveyor systems Oriental Motor offers a wide range of AC gear motors.

AC induction motors are ideal for conveyor systems that operate continuously in one direction. For conveyor systems where the load must be held in place or for vertical applications, there are a wide range of AC motors with power-off activated electromagnetic brake. For simple braking, our AC Speed Control Motors or Brake Pack are also convenient options. The IP67 rated washdown AC induction motors are suitable for conveyors that will be in contact with water or need to be washed. Synchronous motors are also available for conveyors where the motor needs to be operated continuously in one direction at synchronous speed regardless of load torque; the low-speed synchronous motor is ideal for frequent starting, stopping and reversing.
