Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor drive for a gearless belt conveyor drive system, which includes a motor base frame, a torque arm mounted on the motor base frame or a conveyor baseplate, a rotationally symmetrical stator of a synchronous motor being fixedly held by the torque arm and a rotationally symmetrical rotor casing containing permanent magnet elements of the rotor of the synchronous motor. The rotor casing is directly mountable on a front end of a cylindrical belt conveyor pulley so that the permanent magnet elements of the rotor rotate around the stator and so that the symmetry axis of the rotor casing and the symmetry axis of the stator are aligned with each other and with a longitudinal axis of the belt conveyor pulley.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A gearless belt conveyor drive system comprising: a motor drive, the motor drive comprising: a motor base frame; a torque arm configured to be mounted on at least one of the motor base frame or on a conveyor baseplate; a rotationally symmetrical stator of a synchronous motor configured to be fixedly held by the torque arm; and a rotationally symmetrical rotor casing containing permanent magnet elements of a rotor of the synchronous motor, wherein the…
