Lenze Ltd - Electronic Conveyor Motor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products along assembly lines in manufacturing facilities.
• Transporting goods within warehousing and logistics operations.
• Feeding processing machinery in food and beverage production.
• Handling packaging materials in automated packing lines.

Typical Specifications

Motor type

Typically an AC induction motor, suitable for continuous operation.

Number of poles

This unit is specified as 4 poles, commonly resulting in a synchronous speed of approximately 1500 RPM at 50Hz.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, a three-phase supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is common, though single-phase variants exist for lighter duties.

Mounting

Typically B3 foot-mounted or B5 flange-mounted, depending on the conveyor frame design.

Enclosure rating

Commonly IP54 or IP55, offering protection against dust and water ingress in industrial environments.

Speed control

Often paired with a variable frequency drive (VFD) for adjustable conveyor speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does '4 Poles' mean for this motor?

  The number of poles relates to the motor's synchronous speed. A 4-pole motor operating on a 50Hz supply will typically have a synchronous speed of 1500 RPM, which is then reduced by slip under load.

• Is this motor suitable for heavy-duty conveyors?

• Can this motor be used with a variable speed drive?

• What maintenance does a conveyor motor typically require?

• How do I determine if this motor is compatible with my existing conveyor system?
