B.E.S.T., Inc. MODEL TMF TWIN MOTOR FEEDERS

• Low Profile Model TMF-1878-1320-4-(2) twin motor
  feeder with airmount isolation
• Model TMF-1248-660-4-(2)S with12" x 48" trough
  and side mounted motors.

Principles of TMF models

• Create a linear straightline motion.
• Two counter-rotating motors provide the linear
  (push-pull) action
• As the AC motors counter-rotate, the side forces
  cancel out and the linear forces are combined.
• With the motors properly attached and located on
  a rigidized trough suitable for the forces being
  exerted, and also suspended on isolation springs,
  the conveyance action is quiet and positive.
