Rulmeca operates a Service centre fully dedicated to the repair and assembly of Motorized Pulleys
Like the other models in Rulmeca’s LS series, the 80LS uses a robust helical gearbox to provide smooth and powerful drive for unit-handling conveyors. All mechanical components—including the motor, bearings, and gearbox—are hermetically enclosed inside a steel drum shell. This fully sealed construction, not only reduces the footprint of the system but also simplifies cleaning operations, enhances operator safety and protects elements from dust, water and contaminants. Such a sealed and compact construction makes the 80LS ideal for industries requiring hygiene, safety, and efficient space utilization.
The Drum Motor 80LS combines compact dimensions and high output, offering excellent power transmission even in demanding or continuous-duty environments. Its multiple features work together to provide long-lasting performance and operational efficiency.
The corrosion-resistant bearing housings ensure durability even in harsh or wash-down environments. These drum motors feature a 3-phase AC induction motor and dual voltage capability, providing reliable and versatile electrical integration. Additionally, the integral motor protection guards the motor against overload, voltage fluctuations and overheating, reducing unexpected downtime.
Moreover, the hardened steel helical spur gear ensures smooth power transfer and it minimizes mechanical stress, while the sealed, lifetime-lubricated design eliminates the need for routine maintenance. Reversible rotation allows easy adaptation to changing conveyor requirements, and the reinforced shaft used for lengths over 500 mm ensures structural integrity for longer drums or heavier loads. These drum motors also operate at low noise levels, improving workplace conditions by reducing noise pollution.
Due to its carefully engineered main features, 80LS series is ideal for conveyor systems where space is limited or where external motor arrangements would be impractical. Typical applications are:
Material handling components for conveyors capable of guaranteeing high performance and the full functionality of the system.
An application that demands high performance requires a wide and high-quality range of material handling components for conveyors.
Material handling components studied and manufactured to guarantee easy cleaning and compliance with hygiene regulations.
Plus
By incorporating the motor, gearbox, and bearings directly inside the rotating drum, the need for external components—such as chains, guards, tensioners, or traditional motor bases—is eliminated. This significantly reduces the conveyor’s overall footprint and creates a cleaner, more streamlined layout. The sealed design also minimizes the risk of damage from accidental impact or environmental exposure and removes all external moving parts, enhancing operator safety. In industries where space is restricted or conveyor lines must be frequently reconfigured, the 80LS’s compact design provides both practical and economic benefits.
80LS series delivers impressive torque, making it highly effective for demanding conveyor applications. The helical gear ensures superior efficiency compared to simpler configurations, enabling a smoother transfer of power, reduced energy loss and quieter operation. The 80LS offers the strength needed to maintain continuous and reliable movement without unnecessary strain or energy consumption.
Reliability is at the heart of the Drum Motor 80LS. Its hermetically sealed construction ensures that internal components remain protected from dust, water and humidity, while the lifetime lubrication system guarantees optimal operations of the gears and bearings without requiring periodic maintenance. Corrosion-resistant materials and reinforced mechanical elements provide long-term durability, even in environments with moisture or aggressive chemicals. This design reduces operational costs, minimizes downtime and guarantees consistent performance throughout the entire lifespan of the conveyor system.
