The Eaton DM1 is a Perfect Match for Conveyor Systems
As a variable frequency drive, the Eaton DM1 provides a powerful punch with a drive system that is both compact and at the same time versatile. When combined with a conveyor belt, the DM1 really shows its capacity and strength in providing the ability to run the belt system at different speeds without hiccups. Not only is the DM1 able to manage the changing speeds and torque as needed to handle weight differences on the belt, it continues to run consistently on both normal load and overload without lagging. Load-Bearing Belt Drives Suffer with Unpredictable Weight Changes A common problem with conveyor belts, especially those dealing with packages and material that have significant variance in weight, is the irregular changing throws of the belt drive’s ability to maintain a consistent speed. That’s not the case with the Eaton DM1. Instead, the DM1 provides a predictable, constant drive and speed, even with an overload as much as 150 percent normal capacity. Even better, the DM1’s s...
