Drives

American Conveyor Group, Inc.
Call: 866-403-5232  |  www.acgconveyors.com
The Simply Flexible Modular Table Top Conveyor System offers a large assortment of drives. Having the right drive for the job is very important when laying out material handling system configurations. We offer one of the largest assortment of drive assemblies on the market. There are six variations of drive assemblies. All drives are available with direct drive or transmission drive motor mounts. The motor can be mounted to the left or the right of the sprocket. Twenty-four different configurations are available to choose from. All drives come standard with a clutch to prevent system damage. A wide variety of speeds are available.

End Drive
This drive is placed at the “pull” end of a conveyor section. It is used in conjunction with an idle end at the opposite end to power the chain through the conveyor beam.

Intermediate Drive
An intermediate drive is best utilized when space restrictions prohibit the placement of an end drive unit. Its advantage is it can be inserted anywhere along the conveyor. It is used in conjunction with two idle ends, one at each end of the conveyor section.

Parallel Drive
This drive is best suited for applications that utilize top and bottom running chain when the application requires a product transfer from a drive to an idle end. This single assembly combines a drive and idle mounted at 10 degree offset angle that allows product to travel in a straight path across the bias of the chain. This can be very useful when running small or unstable parts.

Drive-Idle Drive
This drive is best suited for applications that utilize top and bottom running chain and require a transfer from a drive to an idle end. By connecting them in a single assembly, a transfer section has been incorporated to help facilitate transfers. The section is available with a dead plate transfer, free roller transfer, or a powered roller transfer. This can be very helpful when running small or unstable parts, pucks, or pallets. Although the Parallel Transfer Drive provides a more stable transfer, the Drive-Idle Drive has a smaller footprint.

Catenary Drive
This drive is very similar to an intermediate drive but accommodates top-running chain only.

Wrap Drive
This drive is very similar to the Parallel Transfer Drive, but only accommodates top-running chain. This single assembly combines a drive and idle mounted at a 10 degree offset angle that allows product to travel in a straight path across the bias of the chain. Guides return the chain from the bottom idle to the top side of the conveyor beam. This can be very helpful when running small or unstable parts.
