Developed to meet the requirements of material handling​

This concept truly shines in applications with frequent start-stop cycles, short cycle times, and a large number of installed drives. The range of applications extends from conventional material handling to conveyor lines for heavy loads of up to 6.8 metric tons—regardless of whether the application operates in standard, fresh, or frozen food environments.​

Typical applications include roller conveyors, belt conveyors, chain conveyors, corner transfer unit, and transfer cars in modern conveying and material-handling systems.​

Easy installation. Quick commissioning.​

In addition to standardization, ease of use is one of the Smart Motor’s key advantages. Parameterization is performed via NFC directly using a smartphone or PC. The motor does not need to be powered on for this, and no addressing is required. This significantly reduces the effort involved in commissioning and service. ​
