Belt Conveyors feature rotatable drives.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:35:59 -0500

Featuring low-profile design, Automation Series Conveyors have Pivot rotatable drives that can be positioned to avoid product on conveyor belt or obstructions caused by integrated machines. To change position, users loosen 2 set screws, rotate drive, and retighten screws. Timing belt inside guard transfers torque from motor to conveyor's drive pulley. Capable of belt speeds up to 400 fpm, Pivot drive package is compatible with any QC Industries ac or dc gearmotors.

Roller Drive has spring-loaded rotor locking break mechanism.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:44:52 -0500

Designed specifically for decline conveyors with fail safe requirement, Model EC100B RollerDrive features spring loaded fail safe brake that prevents drifting on inclines while ensuring smooth operation and low noise emission. Mechanical rotor-locking break is spring-loaded and cycles with main power; it does not cycle with each start and stop of the conveyor. As long as the power bus is on, the magnetic force created by solenoid keeps rotor free.

Belt Drives are housed in protective steel shell.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 16 May 2006 08:12:46 -0500

Ranging from 80-216 mm in diameter, belt drives are enclosed and sealed inside steel shell, preventing water, dust, grit, chemicals, grease, and oil from affecting their performance. Available in single- and 3-phase models, they provide safe, quiet work environment because the only external moving parts are belt drive shell and bearing housings. Steel shell guards against contamination of food, electrical components, plastics, and other materials handled.
