DynoDrive One 24v Brushless External Motor (pancake-style) | Powered Roller Conveyors

Features, Benefits & Uses

Features & Benefits

• Impressive Torque: Direct drive 24V brushless DC motor provides impressive torque, particularly at low speeds, suitable for heavier unit loads and high-capacity flow.
• Extreme Reliability: Built with robust bearings and a low maximum operating speed, the system boasts a calculated bearing life of up to 200,000 hours, ensuring long-term durability.
• Energy Efficient: The motor is direct drive and only runs when product needs to move. This reduces wear on parts and saves energy when the line is idle.
• Controlled Braking System: Provides smooth and precise stop-start control, enhancing product stability on inclines or declines.
• Adaptable Control: Features control cards that allow for connection to any external automation control system, ensuring universal compatibility with PLCs and other common industry controls.
• Simple Setup: The control logic is decentralised, often eliminating the need for complex, centralised PLC control for basic ZPA function. The motor controller uses a simple plug-and-play connection.
• Almost Silent Operation: The DynoDrive motor is almost silent in operation at full power, contributing to a significantly improved work environment.

Uses

• Warehousing and large-scale distribution centres.
• Food dispatch and packing (suitable for demanding environments with proper motor protection).
• Manufacturing and heavy-duty assembly lines.
• Conveyors handling product up and down inclines.

How it works

• A Dynodrive motor is fitted at regular intervals along the length of the conveyor, this enables the loads to be automatically controlled in ‘zero pressure zones’.
• The stop / start action of these motors is automatically controlled by photocell sensors fitted at each end of the zone, these send information to the control card link to that motor.
• As the loads are conveyed along the conveyor, the photocell sensors inform the control card that product is present. The control card then checks that the forward zone is unoccupied. If the zone is clear, the downstream motor starts thus enabling the product to be passed forward where the action is repeated.
• If however, the downstream zone is occupied then the control card stops the motor immediately under the product until the downstream zone is clear.
• In the event that no loads are present or moving on the conveyor, then zones are stopped effectively saving energy.
