MOTORIZED PULLEYS
SPACE SAVING DESIGN:
the drive unit and the bearings are mounted inside the Motorized
Pulley shell so it takes up much less room than a conventional drive.
Due to its compact size and smooth lines, quite often the Motorized
Pulley is out of sight, because it is hidden within the conveyor frame.
Motorized Pulleys are available from Ø 138 mm to Ø 1000 mm, with a variety
of lagging options to provide a durable drive with a long service-life. Totally
enclosed: motor, gearbox and bearings are totally enclosed and sealed inside a
steel shell. Motorized Pulleys have a safe and worry-free design that withstands
the harshest conditions and reduces operating costs.

Features and Benefits
of Motorized Pulleys
Purpose-built design
The Motorized Pulley has been
specifically designed for belt conveyors.
Totally enclosed
The motor, gearbox and bearings are
totally enclosed and sealed inside a
steel shell; therefore they are unlikely
to fail due to harmful environmental
conditions such as water, dust, grit
chemicals, grease, oil, etc.
Space saving design
Because the drive unit and the bearings
are mounted inside the Motorized
Pulley shell, it takes up much less
room than a conventional drive.
No need for costly extras like chains,
v-belts, couplings, bearings, support
structure and special guarding.
Safety
The Motorized Pulley is probably one of
the safest drives available because the
motor is completely enclosed and the
external shafts are always stationary.
The only moving external parts are the
Motorized Pulley shell and bearing
housings.
Low purchasing
and installation cost
The Motorized Pulley is quite often
less expensive than a conventional
drive because it has fewer parts,
which reduces conveyor design and
purchasing costs. It is also much
quicker and easier to install – certainly
less than a quarter of the time needed
to fit an exposed system.
Low maintenance cost
The end user also benefits from
the Motorized Pulley, because it requires
no maintenance other than
the recommended oil change every
20.000 hours. In other words, there
are almost 10 years between oil changes
based on an 8-hour/day – 5-day working
week. In order to secure a long lifetime of
the pulley, it is, however, recommendable
after approx. 2.000 hours to clean the
magnet fitted to the oil screw.
Efficiency
The Motorized Pulley usually has a
much higher efficiency from electrical
motor to shell (pulley face) than
conventional drives, because it has
fewer frictional losses, and therefore
efficiencies of up to 97 % can be
achieved.
Cleanliness
Because the Motorized Pulley is totally
enclosed, it cannot contaminate any
conveying materials such as electrical
components, plastics and other materials
that must be kept perfectly clean during
handling.
Aesthetic appearance
If installed correctly the Motorized Pulley
always looks good. Due to its compact
size and smooth lines, quite often the
Motorized Pulley is out of sight, because
it is hidden within the conveyor frame.
Weight saving and distribution
Often the Motorized Pulley is lighter than
conventional drives and often it is possible
to reduce the cost of the conveyor
structure, because the weight is evenly
distributed within the conveyor frame.
Fewer parts
A Motorized Pulley consists of the drive
and two fixing brackets! Conventional
drives can require up to 8 or more
separate components, most of which
have to be purchased from different
suppliers or manufactured specially.
Low noise
Thanks to the totally sealed enclosure
and high quality gears the Motorized
Pulley runs almost at a whisper – a
very important fact in today’s modern
factory environments.

produced by RULMECA GERMANY GmbH,
