Distribution Center Conveyor

Distribution centers are a demanding environment for electric motors. Often times, the conveyor belts are running 24 hours a day, only stopping for maintenance. In addition, the conveyor belt systems Groschopp worked with varied from nearly no load to carrying parcels weighing several hundred pounds.

Groschopp built a standard AC motor with a right angle worm reducer for this customer because it could be mounted flush against the system rather than jutting out and causing a potential hazard. AC right angle gearmotors can easily support various torque loads, and by using a standard design, Groschopp was able to reduce costs for the conveyor manufacturer.


Challenges

  • Continuous duty
  • Variable torque load
  • Needs to fit into a tight envelope (safety concern)

Solution

  • Right angle AC gearmotor mounts alongside system
  • Right angle gearbox can easily support the varied torque loads
  • Standard gearmotor to eliminate costs

How to use the Motor Search Tool

Narrow your search by selecting motor type, gearbox, voltage, and phase options for your desired motor.

Select a dominant variable: choose one of the three parameters to narrow your search. The selected variable determines which slider bar you will be able to manually move.

Use the slider corresponding to your dominant variable to further narrow your motor selection. The other sliders will automatically move to show available ranges based on the range of your selected variable.

Results will upload as your search criteria changes. If you have any questions regarding your results or how to use the search tool, you can chat with us using the green tab on the left-hand side of your screen.


Note: Groschopp Universal motors are custom built to fit your application so no additional options are available to narrow the search. Selecting the Universal motor type will prompt a message taking you to the Universal product page.
