Access complete powertrains for conveyors with Bauer Gear Motor

As the backbone of processes in the intralogistics and material handling sectors, operators require highly reliable and efficient conveyors to secure throughput and profitability. Bauer Gear Motor specialises in providing a full suite of drives for various applications, including standardised units for general logistics applications, as well as its aseptic-coated or stainless-steel HiflexDRIVE motors for use in hygienic environments in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

Application experience in mining, quarrying, water and metals ensures that all Bauer motors are incredibly robust and offer a long service life. A range featuring high efficiency ratings and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) technology delivers market-leading efficiency across different modes of operation. Combined, these two factors ensure Bauer motors offer end users a lower total cost of ownership (TOC), protecting profitability.

The product range is not static either. Bauer continuously develops new geared motor solutions to meet the needs of the market, reaching higher levels of durability and energy saving. Building on its own expertise, the company also collaborates with other brands of Regal Rexnord Powertrain Solutions to provide conveyor operators with single source support for the complete driveline.

A holistic approach to conveyor design

As part of this service, customers can access motors, gearboxes, couplings, chains, monitoring solutions and more from one supplier. This allows a holistic approach to conveyor powertrain design with fully interoperable products, which serves to improve the efficiency and reliability of the entire system. A dedicated conveyor design team works with customers on a case-by-case basis, specifying an optimal combination of products to perfectly meet application goals.

In addition to the benefits of a fully engineered system, single source support also eases procurement, reduces time to deployment and simplifies maintenance. Instead of having to spend the time and expense of managing multiple vendors, teams can access products and expertise quickly from one knowledgeable expert. This means that operators can spend more effort on day-to-day operations.

To further improve uptime and productivity, Bauer customers can also access Regal Rexnord's next generation Perceptiv condition monitoring and predictive maintenance solution. A unified platform combining hardware and software, Perceptiv uses its broad sensing capabilities and in-built intelligence to provide accurate insights into equipment performance. This helps operators graduate from reactive maintenance to a proactive or predictive approach, enabling repairs to be conducted strategically to increase conveyor uptime.

While providing access to end-to-end solutions, Bauer facilitates a changeover to new powertrain systems with products that can be easily integrated with existing infrastructure. This includes compatibility with different electronics and controls, ensuring faster set up and minimal impact on overarching automation logic. Moreover, Bauer geared motors can be customised to fit with existing mechanical interfaces, while many models are designed to be interchangeable with previously installed equipment, fitting within the same footprint. Therefore, time-consuming and costly plant modifications can be avoided.

Empowering operators of conveyors

Conveyor efficiency and reliability are dependent on the perfect operation of multiple powertrain components. Via Bauer Gear Motor, customers can not only access world-class geared motors for almost any intralogistics and material handling application, but also a full powertrain system backed by the single source expertise and support of Regal Rexnord.

This way, operators can capitalise on superior motor performance by combining it with a holistic, system-orientated solution that offers maximum uptime and value.
