The DualGear drive system has been developed for conveyor belt applications and compact wheel drives in autonomous logistics systems. In intralogistics environments where space is limited, it offers a powerful, efficient and cost-effective solution. Its key advantage is versatility. A single drive can generate two synchronous movements, reducing integration effort while optimizing installation space and overall system costs.
Powerful combination of BX4 and GPT Technology
The new drive system combines two high-performance partners in a compact unit: the powerful and dynamic brushless 32 mm motor from the tried-and-tested BX4 family and two diameter-compliant mounted, robust metal planetary gearheads from the GPT series at both ends of the motor. The BX4 base motor for the DualGear combination is available in two motor lengths with 42 mm and 68 mm.
This allows the drive system to be flexibly adapted to different performance and installation space requirements. Hall sensors with sine/cosine output signals enable precise detection of the rotor position for exact commutation and positioning. In combination with an external motion controller, accurate positioning movement is possible, resulting in a drive system that combines torque and maximum accuracy with a compact design.
In this combination, the GPT planetary gearheads are available with up to three stages, which enables exact dimensioning with respect to speed and torque requirements.
The components have only welded joints to ensure reliable and durable construction without the use of adhesives.
Upgrade for conveying and intralogistics systems
Modern conveying and logistics systems require dynamic, durable and integratable drive solutions. The DualGear meets these requirements thanks to its robust design, high control accuracy and long service life. The possibility of realizing two synchronous, powerful movements with just one drive and a central control, creates new approaches for efficient, simple system architectures in the next generation of conveying and intralogistics systems.
