Drive units & idler units
Drive units for plastic chain conveyors are required to drive the conveyor chain.
Idler units, on the other hand, are located at the end of a conveyor system. They ensure the even deflection of the chain.
Clock generator: Drive units for plastic chain conveyors
Our drive units are crucial for setting the conveyor chain in motion and driving the conveyor system efficiently. These units ensure that the plastic chain conveyor runs reliably and are therefore the centrepiece of every conveyor solution.
Our range includes drive units in various performance classes: compact, medium and heavy-duty drive units. The tractive force ranges from up to 300 N for the compact models to 1250 N for the heavy-duty variants.
We offer a wide range of configurations, including direct drive units with or without slip clutches and heavy-duty drives with suspended motor and transmission chain. Our available types include:
End drive units
Mid drive units
Combined drive units
Synchronous drive units
Wheel bend drive units
Combined drive units
With modular automation, you will find the perfect drive solution for your specific requirements.
Idler units for plastic chain conveyors
The idler units from modular automation are a central component of your conveyor system. These important components are located at the end of the plastic chain conveyor and, as passive elements, ensure even deflection of the plastic conveyor chain. They support the precise guidance of the chain or modular belt and help to transport the material reliably.
Our idler units prevent products from sagging or being damaged on the conveyor belt. They are particularly robust and are suitable for demanding operating conditions such as dusty, dirty or extreme environments. With our high-quality deflection units, you can guarantee trouble-free operation and effectively protect your conveyed goods.
