2Product description
2.1 ERS 53 Belt Driven Roller Conveyor
2.1.1 Product Description
The ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor System is a modular system used to transport products. The ERS
Belt Driven Roller Conveyor System provides a low noise, high volume solution. The throughput of the
standard ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor System depends on the weight and dimensions of the
transported products.
The ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor System consists of the following principal components:
•ERS 53 Straight with End Drive
•ERS 53 Straight with General Drive

2.2 ERS 53 Straight with End Drive
The ERS Straight with End Drive is a driven straight roller conveyor, used to transport products in a
straight line. The ERS Straight with End Drive provides a low noise, high volume solution. The
throughput of the standard module depends on the weight and dimensions of the transported
products.
2.3 ERS 53 Straight with General Drive
The ERS Straight with General Drive is a driven straight roller conveyor, used to transport products in a
straight line. The ERS Straight with General Drive provides a low noise, high volume solution. The
throughput of the standard module depends on the weight and dimensions of the transported
products.
2.4 ERS 61 Stopper
The ERS Stopper is a static element that is placed at the end of a roller conveyor and is used to stop
the transported products.
2.5 ERS Support
The ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor System needs to be supported by a suitable supporting system in
at least every 1.5 m distance. The supporting system has to be mounted with M8 hammerhead bolts
onto the side profiles of the ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor System. ERS 60 Support
The ERS 60 Support could be used to support a Belt Driven Roller conveyor system and is placed
underneath a roller conveyor and is bolted onto the ground.
2.6 ERS Sensor and Reflector
The ERS Sensor is a photocell based sensor used to detect an object or to control a zone of a ERS Belt
Driven Roller Conveyor Module. The sensor can be integrated in High Profile Conveyors Modules or
added to the Low Profile Conveyors Modules with a dedicated mounting brackets.
2.7 ERS Side Guide
The ERS Side Guide is used to guide conveyed objects on the ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor Modules.
The guide can be integrated on the Low Profile Conveyor Modules using the dedicated mounting
brackets. There are two types of brackets; a fixed guide bracket and an adjustable guide bracket.

2.8 ERS Side Cover Profile
The ERS Side Cover profiles are used to cover the sides of the ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor Module
profiles.
2.9 ERS Cover Caps
The ERS Cover Caps are used to cover the edges on the front and back side of the ERS Belt Driven
Roller Conveyor Module profiles. The ERS Cover Caps are available for high and low profiles.
2.10 ERS Straight Connector
The ERS Straight Connector is used to connect multiple ERS Belt Driven Roller Conveyor Modules. The
connector is equipped with a plastic screen cover.
