Drum Motor 113LP is a key component of Rulmeca’s light industrial drum motor range, designed specifically to deliver efficient and reliable power to belt conveyor systems. It features a high-performance polymer planetary gearbox that ensures smooth torque transmission. With the motor, bearings, and gearbox hermetically enclosed inside a robust cylindrical casing, the unit provides a unique combination of safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency.
Beyond its compact design, the 113LP series offers exceptional flexibility: drum body components and electrical connections are available in multiple materials and configurations. Additional optional features and accessories enable customization for a broad range of applications and operating environments. This versatility makes the 113LP an optimal solution for modern conveyor systems needing reliable power in limited space or demanding conditions.
The performance of 113LP is defined by a wide range of features, each contributing to its strength, reliability and durability, even under challenging operating conditions.
The range features both a 3-phase and 1-phase AC induction motors, which allows integration with different electrical systems while delivering robust starting torque and consistent performance. Installation is simplified by single-rated voltage design, providing reliable operation without the need for multi-voltage adjustments. Additionally, the integrated motor protection enhances the motor’s longevity, contributing to a reduced downtime and extending life.
Furthermore, the techno-polymer or hybrid techno-polymer/steel gearbox offers a lightweight yet durable solution, combining corrosion resistance with mechanical strength. This integration of components and polymer gearbox reduces overall system weight, simplifying handling and installation.
This drum motor operates at a low noise level, providing quieter operation compared to traditional exposed conveyor drives, improving comfort in production or processing environments. Additionally, its internal components are permanently lubricated, eliminating the need for routine maintenance while ensuring smooth gear operation and minimizing wear. Another key advantage is its capability to support bidirectional conveyor movement, further expanding its application scope.
Thanks to these features, the innovative product provides a powerful and efficient drive solution for light and medium-duty conveyor systems, especially in installations where continuous operation is not required. Typical applications include:
Many additional application-specific adaptations can be supplied upon request, to precisely match operational requirements.
Products that are made to last: material handling components for conveyors resistant to various types of corrosive agents.
The security provided by efficient material handling components capable of guaranteeing reliability and durability of conveyors.
An application that demands high performance requires a wide and high-quality range of material handling components for conveyors.
Material handling components that guarantee rapid, fluid and precise transportation.
Plus
One of the most significant advantages of 113LP series is its exceptionally compact design. With the motor, gearbox, and bearings enclosed within a single hermetically sealed drum, the unit occupies far less space than traditional exposed drive systems. This sealed design also provides enhanced protection for internal components, safeguarding them from dust, moisture, and mechanical damage.
Unlike conventional motor-and-gearbox assemblies, drum motors eliminate the need for external mounting brackets, chains, covers, and tensioning devices. By integrating all mechanical and electrical components within the drum shell, the system becomes lighter and easier to handle. The polymer gearbox reduces weight without compromising strength or reliability.
Rulmeca’s product development focuses on durability and minimal maintenance, and the 113LP series is an example of this approach. With its stainless steel hermetically sealed construction, lifetime lubrication, and fully enclosed powertrain, the 113LP is designed for long-lasting performance. By shielding internal components from external agents, wear is significantly reduced, while the absence of external moving parts enhances operator safety. This design ensures that the product delivers consistent performance throughout its operational life, with minimal user intervention.
