Motorized Pulleys

Rulmeca Motorized Pulleys have been the industry standard for enclosed conveyor drives since 1953. By packaging the motor, gearbox, and bearings inside a steel shell, these drives eliminate the external hazards and maintenance associated with traditional exposed drive systems.

Key Features and Benefits

Rulmeca’s design offers a wide range of advantages over conventional drives, combining mechanical efficiency with environmental resilience:

• Compact & Low-Maintenance: All drive components are enclosed in an oil-filled steel shell, removing the need for external chains, belts, and motors. Oil changes are only recommended every 10,000 to 50,000 operational hours.
• Ultimate Environmental Protection: Rated IP66/67 (and IP69 for specific food-processing models), they are hermetically sealed to resist dust, water, corrosive chemicals, and high-pressure washdowns.
• Reliable Cooling: The internal oil bath serves as both a lubricant for the gears and a cooling system that dissipates motor heat through the steel shell to the conveyor belt.
• Safety & Compliance: With no exposed moving parts, these drives improve personnel safety and strictly comply with international electrical, EMC, and safety standards (including ISO, ANSI, and EU directives)
