Abstract
This paper presents a new drive concept for light conveyor belts. To reduce the belt tensile force, intermediate drives in form of electric linear direct motors are allocated along the transport distance. In the first part, a new belt design is presented which enables the implementation of the linear motor’s runner elements. The conveyer belt is characterized by low additional weights of the runner elements and has only a slightly higher bending stiffness compared to conventional conveyor belts, whereby small pulley diameters can be achieved. The second part explains the drive concept in the form of an Integrated Linear Flux Modulating Motor in more details. Finally, a demonstrator is presented. The demonstrator is driven by two distributed linear motors and has the belt structure mentioned before. Finally, the functional testing of the demonstrator is described.
