WILMINGTON, N.C., (January 23, 2007) -- Interroll developed a high performance brushless RollerDrive that minimizes the after run of products, enabling the user to stop packages precisely. Designated the EC100, the RollerDrive is equipped with a zero motion hold (ZMH) electro magnetic rotor brake and a re-engineered gear box for higher efficiency and lower noise. The EC100 RollerDrive is ideal for conveying in postal, distribution center or light pallet handling applications.
"The EC100 is a versatile motorized driven roller that can be manufactured to work with O-rings, multi-rib belts, timing belts or chains," said Georg Malina, Global Product Manager for Interroll RollerDrive and DriveControl. "The flexible EC100 provides our customers with a technologically advanced and economical superior alternative to traditional belt, line shaft, chain and sprocket drive systems."
The EC100 RollerDrive is applied with the HC-EC100 zero pressure accumulation (ZPA) control card for a fast and convenient set up for self control stand alone conveyor systems.
The EC100 RollerDrive enables a conveying speed up to 260 fpm and torque capabilities up to 26 in-lbf continuous torque. Noise emission levels of less than 55 dBA can be achieved during operation.
Interroll's EC100 RollerDrive is available in galvanized or stainless steel.
