Selection of conveyor belt motor

When selecting a conveyor belt motor, multiple factors need to be considered, including the length, width, load, speed, and operating environment of the conveyor belt. The following are the characteristics and application scenarios of different types of motors:
DC motor. Suitable for low-power, low-speed, and small load transmission or transmission tasks, it has the advantages of constant speed, flexible reverse rotation, and convenient control. It is suitable for precise control and applications that require high torque output.
AC motor. Including asynchronous motors and synchronous motors, commonly used in low-power, low-speed applications, providing stable power output, high cost-effectiveness, suitable for cost sensitive and low speed and accuracy requirements.
Stepper motor. Suitable for applications that require precise positioning and speed control, such as precision transmission in automation equipment, with high controllability and precision, but relatively low power, suitable for light loads and high-precision applications.
Servo motor. Suitable for applications with high precision, high speed, and high dynamic response requirements, such as automated production lines, machine tools, and robots, with high control accuracy, wide speed range, and powerful torque, but at a higher cost.
In addition, when selecting a motor, factors such as the motor’s protection level, anti-corrosion level, and installation method need to be considered to ensure that the motor can still operate reliably in specific environments. For example, in high-altitude or harsh environments, it may be necessary to choose special types of motors or perform power correction.
