The Watertight, Dust-resistant Connection Cable of Brushless Motors for Improved Maintenance in Food Conveyors

Industries Food manufacturing and packaging
Process and Equipment Name Food conveyors
Issue Maintenance, productivity improvement

Issue: To Improve the Waterproofing of the Conveyor Drive Module Relay Section

Existing Problems/Requests

When cleaning a food conveyor, the waterproofing of the relay section between the main body and the conveyor drive module was low, requiring careful cleaning.

Solution: Watertight, Dust-Resistant Connection Cables for BMU/BLE2 Series Brushless Motor Connector Type for Improved Maintainability

Improving maintainability is one of the most important issues for food conveyors. When cleaning a food conveyor, the conveyor drive module must be removed from the main body for cleaning. Previously, the relay section between the main body and the conveyor drive module had poor waterproofing, the effort required for cleaning.
The watertight, dust-resistant connection cables can be used to improve maintainability of food conveyors.

IP66/IP67 Compliant Relay Connector Reduces the Effort Required for Cleaning

The watertight, dust-resistant connection cable uses IP66/IP67-compliant relay connectors that connect the motor side and the driver side. The power and signal lines are connected by a single connector, eliminating cable splitting and exposed lead wires in the relay section, thereby enhancing dustproof and waterproof performance.

IP66/IP67-compliant BMU and BLE2 Series connector type motors on the left, connection cable (IP66/IP67) in the center, and IP20 BMU and BLE2 Series drivers on the right. Water drop and dust degrees of protection are indicated by blue labels.

Power and signal lines are connected by a single connector. No more cable splitting or exposed lead wires in the relay section, ensuring dustproofing and waterproofing.

Illustration of cable connection structure. Internal structure of circular connector divided for signal and power lines are shown on the left, color-coded wires (red, orange, white, and other colors) in the center, and completed cable connectors after connection indicated by blue arrows are shown on the right.

Panel Mounting Type for Easy Installation

Watertight, dust-resistant connection cables are available in standard connector type and panel mounting type. The panel mounting type is easy to install on a board.

Comparison of connector types and connection diagram. A standard connector type circular connector is shown on the left side, and a control cabinet mounting image on the right side shows the connection cables on the motor and driver sides connected through the control cabinet.

The Right-Angle Hollow Shaft Hypoid JH Gearhead Allows for Space-Saving Installation

The brushless motor BMU/BLE2 Series compatible with watertight, dust-resistant connection cables offer a lineup with a right-angle hollow shaft hypoid JH gearhead with IP66 specifications. The hollow output shaft allows direct connection to the drive shaft, eliminating the need for couplings, belt pulleys, etc., which contributes to space savings and reduced component costs.
