Speed Controller
RequestQuote
 
Palletrak Speed Controllers control the speed of the pallet load or container on the roller tracks; the pallets or containers then flow at a constant speed.

  • One Speed Controller is generally located for each pallet position

  • Flow is a function of the track slope
    • Conveyability of the load (conveying surface must be in good condition)
    • Environment such as wet, cold, hot...
Speed Controllers:

Speed Controllers are either direct braking or indirect braking.

Direct Mount: The Speed Controller is in direct contact with the load.

Indirect Mount: The contact surface of the Speed Controller is suspended under the load rollers.

Palletrak Speed Controllers maintain the speed of pallets. They are self energized devices and require no external power or air source, deriving their braking action thru centrifugal force derived from the motion of the conveyed objects.

Series 050
Series 050 can be used for direct and indirect speed control and are designed to control the speed of pallets or containers using centrifugal fource.

Speed Controller - Series 050

 
Speed Controller - Series 200

Series 200
The rubber tire is driven directly by the pallet. Rotation of the tire prevents pallet acceleration. All gears are made of hardened steel and lubricated to -30° F. For use in blast cells to -60°F.
