Motor bases

The application saves time and money

Motorised bases usually consist of a motor plate, supports, a pre-tensioning unit and rubber spring elements. The rubber spring element is used as a pivot bearing, which continuously compensates for belt elongation and flutter as well as excessive tensile forces when starting a drive. Normally, the corresponding mounting holes are already present in the plate. As the motor base automatically ensures that the belt tension is always correct, it is no longer necessary to switch off the system and manually re-tension it using personnel. In addition, the motor base also protects the belts from start-up overload through controlled slippage behaviour. This significantly extends the belt service life, which in turn reduces costs and energy consumption.

Perfect balance wherever it swings and vibrates

Motorised bases are used in many areas. They are often used to drive screening machines, crushers or vibrating classifiers. They are also ideal for an eccentric drive in vibrating and vibratory feeders. And drives with a constantly changing centre distance between the drive disc and the driven disc are ideally equipped with a motor base.
