Standard Fixed Speed Drive
A standard right-angle gear motor is mounted to the Aerolock housing via an adjustable drive tensioning plate. The chain and sprockets are sized to provide the correct final speed on the Aerolock rotor shaft. The OSHA drive guard provides easy maintenance accessibility. The standard TEFC or explosion-proof drive motors are set up to run on 230/460 volt, 3-phase, 60 Hz current. Other voltages and/or single-phase motors are available.

For pneumatic conveying or feeding applications requiring variable rates:

AC Variable Frequency Drive

An inverter duty rated right-angle gear motor is mounted to the Aerolock housing via an adjustable drive tensioning plate.  The OSHA drive guard provides easy maintenance accessibility.  The Aerolock and drive will be geared to provide either a 2-20 or 3-30 RPM range.  The TEFC and Explosion-Proof motors are 230/460 volt, 3-phase, 10 to 90 hertz operating range.  Other voltages and motors are available.  The AC frequency controller is not included with drive.

DC Variable Speed Drive

The Aerolock Feeder with SCR controlled DC drive is available in a pre-engineered package. A parallel shaft, reducer, and an industrial chain drive are included, along with a totally enclosed OSHA drive guard. The motor is a permanent magnet TEFC unit in sizes 3/4 to 3 HP. The Aerolock turns at 3 to 30 RPM. The SCR speed controller is housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure and can be equipped with an optional signal follower.

When an Aerolock is ordered with a drive, it is shipped fully assembled (unless otherwise specified).
