E24 Vs. Power Rollers
September 5, 2008
What are the benefits of the E24 versus the motorized roller?
The E24 has now made the 24 volt powered roller conveyor system affordable, quiet, safe, easy to maintain, and most of all, reliable. What are the benefits of the E24 versus the motorized roller?
The E24 System | Motorized Roller |
Only 3 moving parts = longer life expectancy | Many small parts = more opportunity for failure |
External motor = one motor for all conveyor widths | Every width requires a different roller = more motors to stock |
No gears = very quiet, one motor for all speeds, one motor to stock | Different gearing needed for different speeds = more rollers to stock |
External motor in aluminum housing bolted to side channel = excellent heat dissipation = longer motor life | Motor inside roller tube = small moving parts, poor heat dissipation |
External motor = no routing wires through small holes eliminating possible damage during installation | Wiring must be routed through motor shaft and through side channel = possible damage during installation |
Motor bolted to side channel = higher torque = strong, simple mounting = fewer drives needed | Motor torque must be adsorbed by a small hex axle = complicated installation, special tools |
125,000 hours of life expectancy = over 14 year at 24/7 operation | 20,000 hours of life expectancy = 2-1/4 years at 24/7 operation |
