The light-duty modelsÌýare suited for applications such as part transfer to work cells, the company says. Offered with either end or center drives, the conveyors are driven byÌýregulated, brushless 24-V DC motors with variable speed and selectable direction. According to the company, the light-duty system’s switchable electric motor reduces belt runout when stopping.
