Project Description

76mm Diameter Motorised Drive Rollers (MDR) and Controllers

  • Poly-V drive for smooth power transmission

  • 40W–100W brushless motor options

  • Supports intelligent control via IO and RS485

  • Run-On-Demand technology allows for energy-efficient operation

  • ​Wide speed range for flexible conveying

Motor-Roller

Motor-driven roller (MDR) conveyors place a 24V brushless motor inside the roller itself — typically a 2-inch-diameter unit that serves as a self-contained drive.

The conveyor splits into independent zones, each with one or more motorized rollers. The motorized roller drives adjacent idlers via quiet Poly-Vee belts, moving packages smoothly across each section.

What makes MDR smart? Decentralized control. Each zone has its own sensor and control card, so zones communicate and operate autonomously — no central PLC required.

What are the advantages of MDR conveyors?

· Zero-pressure accumulation (ZPA) – packages stop without touching, preventing damage.
· Energy savings – run-on-demand cuts power use by up to 81%.
· Quiet & low-maintenance – less noise, fewer moving parts to service.
· High speed – reliably hits 200+ feet per minute for high-throughput operations.
