Electric rollers and modules

Electric rollers are an essential part of most conveyor systems in production, dispatch warehouses or distribution centres. They are used in roller conveyors as well as in belt conveyors.

Motor-driven rollers (MDR) are widely used in the design of advanced automated intralogistics systems, from material handling conveyors to high throughput sorting lines.

• Start small, expand later: intralogistics with MDR gives you complete control over the design of conveyors and sorting lines, and the compact and modular design allows for easy set-up and customization.
• Low energy consumption: start and stop functionality and low-voltage motors make MDR the most energy-efficient material handling technology.
• Durability and ease of maintenance: MDR conveyors are designed for longer life and require only very limited and simple maintenance tasks.
• Cost-effectiveness: modularity and customization to processes that precisely match your requirements and preserve your budget.

Itoh Denki has been developing and supplying motor-driven rollers and modules to customers worldwide in a variety of industries for over 40 years.

Modules

ITOH DENKI Power Moller electric cylinders are the main component of the transfer modules, whose main features are innovation, modularity and safety. No tyres are needed, 24V drive cylinders control all lifting and transfer operations. The modules fit into existing motorised roller conveyor frames. More information on the modules can be found here.

The main advantages:

• Low building height
• External circuit board control
• No need for PLC or with the option to connect to a PLC
• In combination with a PLC, allows pulse signal control
• 90° transfer, non-contact accumulation, pass-through
• Selectable speed - acceleration/deceleration
• IP54, IP55 and IP65 protection and use up to -30 °C
• Low volume and safe operation
• Flexible and modular design - allowing easy expansion or rebuilding
• Suitable for very demanding operation - up to 1,800 starts per hour

Since the introduction of the Power Moller© range of electric rollers in 1978, the Japanese company Itoh Denki has been a pioneer and leading manufacturer in the field of electric rollers drive technology. The uniqueness of Itoh Denki's Power Moller© range of electric rollers stems from the design of the motor, gearbox and shock absorber and their integration into the electric roller shell.

Throughout the entire production process, from design, to production, to delivery to the market, Itoh Denki continuously innovates its products based on industry demands for productivity and competitiveness. Itoh Denki offers innovative products that contribute to operational safety, better working conditions, and respect for the environment.

The electric drive cylinders provide many benefits, such as:
