113LS, 138LS and 165LS TS8N specification Drum Motors in stainless steel. The goal was to achieve official IP69 (acc. to DIN EN 60529) confirmation of the current TS8N (complete stainless steel outer material with VITON dust lip seal and PTFE deflection seal) sealing system. In environments requiring heavy wash-
drums receive new IP66/69 rating R
down, the combination of water, chemicals, high pressures and temperatures can result in ingress and failure of conveyor components. IP69 rating offers complete assurance that Rulmeca TS8N Drum Motors are both durable and resistant in such areas, conforming to the highest protection rating on the scale. However, it‘s necessary to identify the combined rating with drum motors, since IP69 protection does not automatically include IP66 protection.
RULMECA PUT TO THE TEST The test was conducted at the independent VDE test and certification institute. For IP66, strong jets
of water were sprayed at 100 litres per minute, at 1 bar pressure, against the housing from any direction for at least 3 minutes – with no detrimental effects. IP69 protects against extreme pressures and temperatures exerted upon the drum surface from high pressure water or steam jet cleaning. Although the water volume is lower (14-16 litres per minute) the pressure is 80 to 100 bar higher at a shorter distances 0.1 to 0.15m. Water temperature at IP69 is 80 degrees Celsius, whereas IP66 is undertaken at normal water temperature. Rulmeca‘s drum motor accreditation gives assurance to customers operating conveyors under strict hygienic conditions.

Intelligent drive tailored for conveyors The new m350 - the mechatronic drive unit for material handling
boost – this makes the machine design easier as a single drive can handle a wide range of loads and speeds. The Lenze Smart Motor electronics are simply controlled with three digital inputs.
The m350 Smart Gear is available in three sizes with output torques of 25, 50 and 75 Nm suiting conveyor loads up to 350kg. With just two levels, the standard model and a one with a holding brake, six versions cover a wide solution spectrum in horizontal material handling. The standardisation allows fast delivery from pre-built stock, even with add-on options of torque arms, male output shafts and flanges. Mounting dimensions match the standards in the market allowing easy replacement of existing geared motors.
L
aunched at the SPS IPC Exhibition at the end of 2016, the Lenze m350 Smart Gear is a new compact mechatronic drive package designed specifically for carton and tote conveyor systems. Described as “technically the best solution for horizontal material handling systems", the Smart Gear provides compact dimensions with standard mountings, highest efficiency, ready availability and true value for money. Cost-savings result from simple wiring, smaller panel sizes and a zero maintenance requirement.

The m350 Smart Gear is a genuine integrated mechatronic solution consisting of a gearbox, motor, electronic drive and software. The gearbox is integrated into the motor giving smooth lines and highly compact dimensions. The situation is similar for the drive electronics and software, with which up to 5 motor speeds can be easily and precisely set with a user-friendly smartphone app and NFC contactless connection. Thus speeds from 42 to 216 r/min can be freely selected at the gearbox output, all with the same rated torque plus a 400% starting
The new m350 mechatronic drive package is more energy-efficient than all other drives used today in horizontal material handling, reducing running costs. In addition, integrated soft start/stop ramps and brake control ensure that conveyed goods are transported smoothly and gently without jerks. In general terms, the m350 is a universal standard solution for worldwide implementation as no country-specific adaption is needed for mains voltages. Power cabling is faster and less costly as unshielded mains can be daisy-chained from one unit to the next, without individual connection to starters and fuses in the panel.
