Move more with SINAMICS

Application examples: Rack feeders and large-sized conveyor systems

SINAMICS moves continuous and highly dynamic lifts, roller feeds, and many other simple and complex applications in conveyor technology, handling and numerous other sectors. Just two examples from our broad range of applications are rack feeders and large-sized belt conveyors.

Rack feeders

SINAMICS S110 and S120 with outputs of 0.12 kW to 107 kW are optimally suited to motion control of synchronous and asynchronous rack feeder motors.

Further advantages:

Precise positioning functions
High flexibility, even for multiaxial assemblies and in 3D motion sequences
Energy efficiency thanks to feedback capability
Control system with integrated basic positioner (EPos), SIMATIC or SIMOTION

Large-sized conveyor belt systems

Drive solutions for every output, with or without regenerative feedback, are available for conveyor belt systems in the cement and mining industries. Every possible solution can be implemented, from 200 kW to 5 MW per motor - and more.

Further advantages:

Up to 20 % lower energy requirements thanks to variable-speed conveyor belt operation
Output exchange between motors running as motors and motors running as generators
Gears, bearings, drums and rollers are protected by gentle, jerk-free acceleration.
Vibrations and belt tears are avoided
