Coffee Machine DC Gear Motor

Application Stories > Knowledge Base

Rotalink has been providing DC Geared Motors for coffee machines for a number of years now. Providing efficiency in both manufacturing times and motor output.

The product

In 1887, an engineer from Berlin became the first person to patent a ‘vending machine’. Today, vending machines can be found everywhere.

Over the years, vending machines have changed considerably. From little more than a set of coin-operated doors into a diverse and highly sophisticated array of machines. Cans, bottles and snacks as well as toiletries and hot drinks can all be dispensed. Due to the complex requirements of vending machines in today’s world, a great number of miniature-geared motors are used to dispense items in the shortest possible time whilst keeping the item safe.

The solution

Product: SP3587
Description: D2833-071040/229 15-30VDC 781:1 + SPECIAL SHAFT & BEARING

The technicians here at Rotalink, while working closely with the client, produced a DC-geared motor system that offered the specifications and outputs required for a coffee machine.

Our geared motor’s role is to rotate a carousel carrying multiple stacks of cups, allowing the machine to work through each stack in turn. This is the most efficient way to pack cups into a vending machine and still have them easily dispensed.

The particular coffee machine our product is used in utilises an oversized hexagonal output shaft. Allowing the carousel to be slotted onto it and be driven without the need to secure it with screws. As a result, refilling and maintaining the machine is easier and more cost-effective.
