Drum motor is a driving device for belt conveyors, which is a very important part of the conveyor and is widely used in various fields. From the working mode, it can be divided into built-in and external types. Due to the different fixed positions, the working principles of the two products are also different. This article will explain to you from two aspects.
1. The working principle of the built-in type: What we mean by the built-in type is a driving device that places the electric motor and reducer inside the drum body, and the power is transmitted to the drum body by the electric motor through the reducer mechanism. This generated power can drive the conveyor belt to rotate. So the deceleration principles of these two different devices are also different.
2. The working principle of the external type: The external type is a type of motor installed outside the drum, but the deceleration device is installed inside the equipment. Through the transmission of the coupling, the power generated by the motor operation will be transmitted to the inside of the drum motor, which drives the cylinder to rotate under the action of the deceleration mechanism, thereby driving the conveyor belt to rotate.
From the above, we can also see that the working principles of built-in and external electric rollers are different depending on the structure. Therefore, the actual applications in different fields of industrial application are also different. Therefore, users need to choose according to their own actual situation when purchasing.
