Move Heavy Loads Efficiently in Your Facility with Demag Driven Wheel Solutions
Pre-Engineered, Modular Drive Systems Designed for the Most Demanding Industrial Applications
💡 Key Takeaway: Demag's industrial wheel and gear motor solutions deliver complete, pre-engineered systems that integrate seamlessly across foundries, sortation lines, die handling, and architectural projects—with proven reliability spanning 50+ years.
Industrial Drive Systems for Precise Positioning Applications
Demag industrial wheel and gear motor solutions can be applied to a diverse range of applications across high-volume and specialized industries. You'll find that our pre-engineered modular drive systems will integrate seamlessly in the following applications:
Foundry & Metal Production
Demag's industrial drive systems are proven to be the industry standard for powering heavy-duty transfer carts. These carts are critical for the specific task of charging the furnace with the raw materials.
Engineered to handle extreme loads, these systems are built to transport materials such as aluminum or steel coils. The motion profile is typically a linear path designed to transport materials to and from storage and production.
Sortation and High-Cycle Conveyor Lines
Our driven wheel solutions are ideal for applications that require constant starting and stopping. With our conical rotor design, it has the capability of completing start-and-stop operations 100-500 cycles per hour.
This is advantageous for settings such as packaging warehouses, post offices, or conveyor lines.
Die Handling
Heavy-lifting industries require material flow solutions that can handle moving presses and dies that weigh hundreds of tons. This type of movement often requires bi-directional motion to transport materials smoothly and efficiently, making our integrated drive components the superior choice.
Architectural Projects
Architectural projects such as moving retractable stadium roofs, retractable fields, or massive industrial stadium doors require a specialized, reliable heavy-duty travel unit to help move projects along.
Demag's linear motion technology enhances operations and supports the movement of heavy-duty materials.
