Drum Motors

A drum motor is a type of motorized pulley used in conveyor belt systems. It combines the motor and the drum (or pulley) into a single unit. The drum motor is typically located at the conveyor’s discharge end and provides the driving force for the conveyor belt.

Our range of drum motors includes:

– Drum motors with different types of rubber surfaces
– Drum motors with guide tracks and roller coating
– Different types of gears for drum motors
– Drum motors with cogging or brushes
– Various types of cable connection to drum motors

Drum motors for conveyors are typically designed to provide an efficient and reliable solution for driving conveyor belts. The inclusion of cogging or brushes in these drum motors serves specific functions: Cogging refers to the presence of teeth or cogs on the outer surface of the conveyor drum motor. These teeth engage with the conveyor belt, providing a positive drive mechanism. The cogging helps in preventing belt slippage, ensuring that the motion of the conveyor belt is consistent and synchronized with the drum motor’s rotation.
