Launching at Modex 2024
Launching exclusively at MODEX, the NEW Lenze o450 MDR drive will simplify your material handling infrastructure, deliver up to twice the power of conventional motorized rollers, and reduce energy use by up to 30 percent. The gearless design of the o450 MDR also minimizes variants, allowing you to reduce excess inventory and standardize engineering design resources. Our i550 motec and Smart Motor will also be shown to provide you end-to-end solutions for your conveying challenges.
New in the portfolio – the o450 MDR
The Lenze o450 MDR drive simplifies material handling infrastructure, delivers up to twice the power of conventional motorized rollers, and reduces energy use by up to 30%. The gearless design of the o450 MDR also minimizes variants, allowing a reduction of excess inventory and standardize engineering design resources.
- Reduce energy use by up to 30% thanks to low friction losses
- Up to 2X as powerful as conventional MDRs — most powerful MDR on market
- Reduction of variants by 85% — both inventory and multi-development environments are reduced
- Quiet operation with a design based on the Vernier principle

MODEX Panel Discussion
Past, Present & Future:
The Evolving Landscape of Motor Driven Conveyor Rollers (MDR)
While Motor Driven Rollers (MDRs) offer numerous benefits in conveyance, they also come with inherent challenges. Some of these obstacles include, but are not limited to, limited power, integration of variants, and an organization’s goals to improve sustainability. The future also requires further reduction of energy consumption, solutions that address workforce challenges tied to a lack of skilled labor, and better integration and the continuum toward Industry 4.0 and IIoT.
This discussion will consider these challenges and recent technological advancements that will drive the conveyance industry forward. We will look at obstacles from an OEM, manufacturing, and end-user perspective to address aligned interests toward future-proofing Motor Driven Rollers as your preferred conveyance choice.
