Operating principle

Many horizontal materials handling applications require a higher torque during the startup phase to overcome static friction, to loosen dirt and sticky residue and to distribute lubrication where necessary. This effect has to be taken into account during project planning, which is why the degree of utilization of conventional drive systems is only 50-60% in continuous duty. MOVIGEAR^®, however, provides a starting torque that is 3 to 4 times higher than the continuous torque. The drive unit can be dimensioned optimally to the continuous duty point. Nonetheless, high breakaway and starting torques, especially after long system downtimes, are mastered without any limitations.
This means the power required to drive the system can be reduced significantly. Additional electrical elements, such as fuses, switches, mains supply, etc., can be dimensioned smaller.
