Warehouse & Logistics Applications
JVL motors are engineered for the relentless demands of warehouse automation — running 24/7 in sorting hubs, automated storage systems, and baggage handling facilities.
Industry Challenges
24/7 Continuous Duty
Warehouse sorting and baggage handling systems run around the clock. Any motor failure stops the entire line.
High Throughput Diverting
Sorting hubs process thousands of parcels per hour. Diverter and pusher drives must be fast and reliable.
Vertical Lifting
Automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS) need high torque for vertical lifts with fail-safe braking.
Distributed Installation
Large warehouses have hundreds of drive points spread across long distances, making centralized cabinets impractical.

Why JVL for Warehouse & Logistics?
Built for 24/7
Brushless design with sealed bearings and integrated thermal protection ensures years of continuous operation.
High Torque NEMA 34/43
Up to 18.65 Nm holding torque for vertical lifts, heavy-duty conveyors, and AS/RS shuttles.
Decentralized Architecture
Mount drives directly at each sorting point. No central cabinet, minimal cable infrastructure.
Integrated Brake
Built-in electromagnetic brake option provides fail-safe holding on vertical axes and inclined conveyors.
Winning Applications
Shuttles moving on tracks in Warehouse Storage Solutions. Each shuttle contains 2x MAC402 for horizontal and vertical movements, plus battery and Siemens PLC with WiFi.
TRWon because the DC-supplied 400W MAC motor is the most energy efficient motor they found. After a certain number of movement cycles, they only need to recharge the battery half as long as competing motors.
MAC402Bulk mail is automatically sorted into bins depending on destination. Bulk mail pieces move along a series of diverting conveyors that either pass the product along or divert the mail piece into a bin. Each diverting conveyor is driven by a combination of 4 motors.
USElimination of separate drives reduces panel size and eliminates several panels. Cost savings of integrated over non-integrated is magnified by high number of axes per machine.
