End-Drive Conveyors
End-Drive Conveyors provide a low-profile conveying surface with the motor and gearbox at one end. This arrangement can position the drive outside a die or mold area.
Conveyor Technologies helps select the conveyor and drive for your application.

Features and benefits
Quick, Tool-Free Belt Replacement
Tool-free belt changes can be completed in minutes.
The Type A construction allows an endless belt to be replaced without removing the drive or dismantling the conveyor from its stands. Belt-replacement access depends on the tail arrangement and mounting.
End-Mounted Drive Placement
The end-mounted motor and gearbox sit outside the conveying area and can be positioned outside a die or mold area. Their position at the conveyor end is part of the installation envelope, alongside guarding, cables and the infeed or discharge arrangement.
Calibrated Belt Tensioning and Tracking
Gauges on each side of the Type A belt calibrator provide two maintenance references:
- Belt setup
- Calibrated tensioning and tracking.
- Replacement preparation
- Belt-length checking without removing the belt.
Sealed Bearings and Crowned Drive Pulley
The Type A crowned drive pulley uses two self-aligning bearings, sealed and lubricated for life. Its solid steel bearing housing also provides the drive mounting surface. This construction removes the need for routine bearing lubrication.

Applications and integration
Manufacturing and Machine Integration
End-Drive Conveyors serve manufacturing, assembly, packaging and automation.
End-drive placement is relevant to OEM and machine integration. It can position the motor and gearbox outside the die area in metalworking and stamping, or outside the mold area in plastics and injection molding.
Specialized Operating Environments
Cleanroom, washdown and high-temperature suitability depends on the selected End-Drive configuration. The cleanroom class, cleaning methods, temperatures and chemical or oil exposure are part of that selection. Stainless steel construction is available for frequent cleaning or moisture exposure.
For an unresolved transfer or product-control problem, use the Transfer and Product Control Guide. Compare layout requirements through the Selection Guide.
Documentation and support
Load and Belt-Adjustment Documents
Find the Torque Load Chart and Increase Tension / Re-track Belting instructions in Documentation. The applicable document depends on the conveyor when checking load or adjusting the belt.
Existing Equipment
For existing equipment, start with Equipment Identification when requesting documents or a replacement quotation. If you do not know the identifier, describe the equipment and the task.
Warranty
10-year unlimited hours, 5-years on bearings, 2 years on drive packages
