What are the benefits of the E24 versus the motorized roller?

The E24 has now made the 24 volt powered roller conveyor system affordable, quiet, safe, easy to maintain, and most of all, reliable. What are the benefits of the E24 versus the motorized roller?

VS.

 

The E24 System

Motorized Roller

Only 3 moving parts = longer life expectancy

Many small parts = more opportunity for failure

External motor = one motor for all conveyor widths

Every width requires a different roller = more motors to stock

No gears = very quiet, one motor for all speeds, one motor to stock

Different gearing needed for different speeds = more rollers to stock

External motor in aluminum housing bolted to side channel = excellent heat dissipation = longer motor life

Motor inside roller tube = small moving parts, poor heat dissipation

External motor = no routing wires through small holes eliminating possible damage during installation

Wiring must be routed through motor shaft and through side channel = possible damage during installation

Motor bolted to side channel = higher torque = strong, simple mounting = fewer drives needed

Motor torque must be adsorbed by a small hex axle = complicated installation, special tools

125,000 hours of life expectancy = over 14 year at 24/7 operation

20,000 hours of life expectancy = 2-1/4 years at 24/7 operation
