Conveyor & Material Handling Applications
JVL integrated motors eliminate control cabinets from conveyor systems — mount the drive directly on the belt, turntable, or diverter for truly decentralized automation.
Industry Challenges
Decentralized Architecture
Long conveyor runs with many drive points create massive cable trays and oversized control cabinets.
Variable Speed Zones
Accumulation, merging, and sorting zones each need independent speed control with smooth acceleration.
High Starting Torque
Fully loaded belts and heavy turntables demand high breakaway torque to start reliably every time.
Maintenance Access
Motors on conveyors are often in hard-to-reach locations. Reliability and simple replacement are essential.
Recommended Motors
Stepper Motors
MIS340
ServoStep MIS - NEMA 34 Integrated Stepper Motor with servo control (closed-loop)
MIS341
ServoStep MIS - NEMA 34 Integrated Stepper Motor with higher torque
MIS342
ServoStep MIS - NEMA 34 Integrated Stepper Motor with high torque
MIS343
ServoStep MIS - NEMA 34 Integrated Stepper Motor with highest torque in series

Why JVL for Conveyor & Material Handling?
No Control Cabinet
All-in-one motor mounts directly on the conveyor frame. One power cable and one Ethernet cable per drive.
DC Supply Compatible
NEMA 34 steppers and MAC DC servos run from 12-48V or 12-72V DC bus — ideal for battery-backed systems.
Daisy-Chain Topology
Built-in Ethernet switch connects dozens of drives in series, dramatically reducing network infrastructure.
Up to 10 Nm Holding Torque
MIS34 series delivers enough torque for heavily loaded belt drives without external gearboxes.
Winning Applications
Customer works in the stage, theater, and venue industries, streamlining the process of converting multi-purpose venues into different configurations. The application consists of motorizing mobile floors using a ballscrew driven by 60x MIS232 motors.
FRCompact motor with hollow shaft. Flexible system with Profinet control.
MIS232Positioning of vertical axis in pallet-wrapping machine.
SEWon because the customer searched for a replacement for a motor that had reached end of life. The MIS is very modular and can be ordered with a specification that makes it compatible with the obsolete motor.
MIS231Smart conveyor system for depalletizing, sorting, singulating, aligning, and transferring packages in multiple directions. Multiple axes along length of conveyor. Each axis controls position of diverter mechanism. Can be more than 100 axes per conveyor, depending on size.
USGreatly reduces panel size and number of panels. Cost savings due to reduction in components multiplied by high number of axes.
ServoStepConveyor systems for logistics companies. Using MAC400, MAC800, MAC1500, MIS23X, and MIS34X motors to move and dump tote bins for automated picking and packaging of goods for shipping.
USWon because the JVL motor could be changed out easily and axes could be added with no additional wiring to the control panel.
