Motorized Pulleys 220M & 220H, Ø 216 mm

Rulmeca offers a range of motorized pulleys - used to drive conveyor belts and other material handling systems - with two different load capacities in the 216 mm diameter, designed for bulk handling applications:

• M for Medium-duty
• H for Heavy-duty

It is important to understand the differences between the various types of motorized pulleys in order to select the most suitable one for your specific application. In particular, the estimated belt tension (radial load), T1+T2, must be lower than the maximum allowable radial load. Keep in mind that using multiply thick, heavy and/or large belt can lead to increased values. However, if the proper belt tension cannot be achieved with the selected diameter, a larger pulley diameter must be chosen.

M for Medium-duty

The internal components of motorized pulleys 220M are designed for applications that feature harsh operating conditions such as crushing and screening equipment, cement and concrete plants, mobile conveyors, open-pit mines and gravel pits, where reliability is essential. These components are able to provide adequate belt tensionfor these demanding environments.

H for Heavy-duty

Equipped with a reinforced 3-stage-gearbox, Rulmeca 220H diameter model is engineered to operate with the necessary strength at low speeds, deliver high torque and meet demanding belt tension requirements. This makes them ideal for recycling plants, waste management (e.g. hand sorter conveyors and bunker discharge conveyors) but they can be also used in ports and logistic hubs (e.g. to drive conveyors that handle coal, sand,..) applications where a combination of these specifications is essential.

These products offer a great variety of benefits: their integrated design eliminates the need for external components, resulting in a compact, all-in-one pulley that, consequently, only needs an easy and fast installation which reduces setup time.

In addition, it is also possible to save energy since Rulmeca products are characterized by poor power consumption compared to traditional systems. Another important aspect to consider when talking about such a complete article is the level of safety: all moving and potentially hazardous components of the pulley – such as motors and gearboxes - are sealed inside the pulley shell so the risk of injury is very low.

These pulleys can also be classified as eco- friendly conveyor solutions reducing energy consumption, offering both cost savings and environmental advantages given from the fewer number of components to replace which lowers the ecological impact compared to more traditional products. Using Rulmeca motorized pulleys is a step toward more sustainable material handling, helping companies meet internal green targets and comply with stricter environmental regulations.

By choosing the right motorized pulley model for your sector, you ensure optimal performance, longer equipment lifespan, and minimized downtime.
