Electrocraft expands MobilePower wheel drive
family with a 500 lb upgrade
The MPW Wheel Drive features a high torque-density
brushless DC motor with a heavy duty integrated
planetary gearbox mounted inside the hub of a
lightweight aluminum wheel with custom tread.
Designed for mobile robot applications, the MPW
combines optimum performance with high-efficiency,
quiet operation and long life.
Electrocraft MobilePower MPW series wheel drives
feature an integrated design that provides increased
performance and reliability compared to traditional
motor/gearbox/wheel combinations. Most impressive is the
small, lightweight form factor of the wheel drive assembly, while producing industry leading
performance. “The result of the integrated design of the MPW is in the overall efficiency and
performance of the robotic application”, notes Scott Rohlfs, director of product marketing at
Electrocraft.

Interroll expands the performance range of its
synchronous drum motors
Interroll has unveiled what it claims is the world’s
most powerful synchronous drum motor for belt
WHAT’S NEW... The new DM 0138 synchronous drum motor extends Interroll’s proven range of high-
conveyor systems, offering an output of 1.8
kilowatts. With the new drive, which meets the
highest hygiene requirements, dynamic and
automated material flow solutions can be
implemented very economically to transport
an even more comprehensive range of goods
via a single conveyor system.
performance synchronous motors upwards to open up new applications for customers and
users, particularly in highly dynamic logistics centers and in the food industry. Like the
existing DM 0080 and DM 0113 series, the new DM 0138 offers maximum acceleration
and braking performance with very low energy consumption and the ability to precisely
position conveyed goods on a system without the use of additional sensors.
