Operating conditions
What decides the specification
- 01Thousands of drive pointsA modern sorter runs hundreds of individually controlled zones. Every drive must be compact, efficient and addressable on a fieldbus without a cabinet per zone.
- 02Belt side loads and jam eventsRoller and belt drives see constant radial load and frequent jam torque peaks. Output bearings and gear teeth are usually the first components to fail.
- 03Energy cost over 24/7 operationConveyors run around the clock, so a few percentage points of motor efficiency translate directly into the operating cost of the whole facility.
Solution
How the drive is engineered for conveyor & sorter
S-01
Reinforced BLDC gear motors
The 6380-12-10J brushless roller drive combines a geared BLDC motor rated for belt and roller side loads with continuous-duty operation across sorter zones.
S-02
Decentralised drive electronics
YF-DRV controllers mount directly on the motor, communicating over CANopen or RS-485, removing cabinets and long motor cables from the conveyor frame.
S-03
Zone control and jam detection
Current-based jam detection in the drive firmware stops a zone within milliseconds, protecting both product and gearbox, and reports the event to the line controller.
