MOTOX Geared Motors for Suspended Electric
Monorails
Geared Motors with Mechanical Release Coupling
MOTOX-EHB (for suspended electric monorails)
is an autonomous range of geared motors for suspended electric monorails. The
special features of MOTOX-EHB geared motors include the integrated mechanical
release coupling to decouple the transmission of force between the drive and
the monorail system. A mechanical release coupling can be used, for example,
for the following reasons:
To commission the system while it is being assembled before
the electric power becomes available
To manually move or divert the trolley when a fault situation
develops
To move the trolley using a chain conveyor system for
steep positive and negative gradients
In addition to geared motors that are in compliance
with VDI Directive 3643 (so-called C1 Standard, light load operation) the range
also covers heavy load applications.
MOTOX-EHB geared motors are available as helical
bevel and helical worm geared motors in 6 gear unit sizes. They are available
in the power range up to 4 kW and rated gear unit torques up to 820 Nm.
