How to handle motor failures in roller conveyors

Thread Content

The most common fault in roller conveyors is related to the motor. The motor serves as the “heart” of the entire machine; any mishandling can prevent the roller conveyor from functioning properly. While it’s important to address any faults promptly, regular maintenance and upkeep are also essential. Only in this way can the service life of the roller conveyor be extended, thereby bringing greater economic benefits to manufacturing enterprises. The most common fault that occurs in roller conveyors during operation is the motor failing to start or slowing down immediately after starting. There are generally four reasons for this issue: (1) It may be caused by a wiring problem. Solution: Conduct a line inspection of the roller conveyor as soon as possible ； (2) It could also be caused by a drop in voltage. Solution: Check the voltage to ensure it is normal ； (3) It could also be a fault with the contactor. Solution: At this point, it is necessary to check the overloaded electrical appliances and replace them promptly ； (4) Another possibility is that it is caused by the conveyor belt being operated too many times in a short period of time. Solution: At this point, we only need to reduce the number of operations to enable the roller machine to start working normally again.
