Energy-Reducing Pallet Motor Rollers

PULSEROLLER pallet handling motorized drive rollers (MDR) safely and effortlessly move pallets up to 70-in. wide and weighing up to 2,700 lb. on a conveyor line. The low voltage pallet rollers are designed to replace any AC gear motor solution by simply removing the motor/gearbox unit and dropping in the heavy-duty pallet roller with sprockets directly inline with the other conveyor rollers. Depending on the application, energy savings can be as high as 60% when compared to alternatives, while providing a safer and more energy-efficient conveying solution.

The pallet roller is driven by a powerful 24VDC motor engine installed inside the tube and coupled to an industrial hardened multi-stage planetary gearbox assembly that easily conveys loads of 2,700 lb. Conveying heavier loads is possible by adding another motor inside the tube creating a dual-motor roller, or by simply doubling the number of pallet motor rollers in each zone.

Using PULSEROLLER’s industry-standard ConveyLinx control card, PULSEROLLER pallet rollers can reach speeds up to 25 m/min with up to 49.3 N-m (436 in-lb.) of torque. This enables a user to move heavier loads with less energy (current) while maintaining the required speed.

With a choice of EthernetIP, Modbus TCP, ProfiNet, or EtherCat connectivity, the networked ConveyLinx cards facilitate virtually any control strategy at a very attractive price. Simple ZPA, transportation, indexing loads, minimum pressure, sortation, pick & pass are all strategies easily implemented by using the built-in intelligence of ConveyLinx or by writing your own program directly. Users have complete control and monitoring capabilities of every motor in your system over a single Ethernet network.

PULSEROLLER pallet handling motor rollers are available in standard 2.25, 2 3/8, and 2.5-in. diameters with many optional attachments including sprockets, poly-vee, keyway, timing pulley, and more.
