Drive components for material handling and conveyor technology
Efficient, structured, and therefore economical goods flows are the focus of individual conveyor and logistics processes. Whether transporting heavy pallets and workpieces, sorting and placing piece goods for shipping or warehousing—optimal operational processes and the seamless interlinking of a wide variety of processes are paramount everywhere.
Pallet conveyors for heavy-duty loading units
Multi-strand driven chain conveyors for heavy-duty pallets are true masters of particularly heavy tasks. Equipped with heavy-duty chains, they handle the safe transport of mesh boxes, workpiece carriers, industrial pallets, or other containers with precision. The Torqmax HeavyDuty is the ideal coupling solution for these robust heavy-duty applications with high torque requirements. It is available for shaft diameters from 55 mm to 120 mm and can be mounted radially thanks to its two-piece design. It is available as an MSPC version with a groove for additional form fit. The HeavyDuty version is made of steel, with stainless steel versions available as an option.
Modern sorting systems strive for high throughput
In distribution centers, wholesale businesses, and a wide variety of manufacturing companies, the challenge is to sort large quantities of diverse goods efficiently and with high throughput, and to assemble and arrange them precisely according to specific orders. Modern, automated sorting systems offer the solution to this rapidly increasing parcel volume. They operate with exceptional precision and dynamics to ensure accurate operation at high throughput rates. The Diskflex GDC multi-disc clutch reliably fulfills its task here. Its force-fit clamping hubs ensure backlash-free torque transmission even in reverse operation. Its high torsional rigidity and lightweight construction, thanks to the aluminum clamping hubs and spacer, make it ideal for these dynamic sorting processes.
Connection and synchronization of different conveyor modules in roller conveyor systems
The implementation and interlinking of a wide variety of conveyor segments requires maximum synchronization of the drive tasks to ensure the smooth flow of complex material flows. Backlash-free compensating couplings from the Jawflex or Diskflex series with individually length-adjusted intermediate shafts enable customer-specific shaft distances to be bridged and contribute significantly to the synchronized movement sequence.
