FAQs The MTS62 Drum Motor
Q1: What makes NGI’s MTS62 Drum Motor unique?
A: The MTS62 is the industry’s most compact oil-free drum motor-engineered specifically for machines where hygienic design, tight transfers, and space efficiency are critical. Its 61 mm diameter delivers high torque and precision control in a form that fits where other drives can’t.
Q2: Is it powerful enough for industrial use?
A: Yes. Despite its compact size, the MTS62 delivers 130W continuous power and up to 300W peak. It also has servolevel control options for demanding high-precision applications. It’s built for more than conveyors—it’s built for real industrial machinery.
Q3: Where does it fit best?
A: The MTS62 is ideal for space-constrained applications in the food industry, including:
• Food processing machines with tight transfer points
• Packaging equipment with narrow frames
• Check weighing and inspection systems needing precision control
• Material handling setups where traditional drive rollers fall short
Q4: How does it compare to small DC-powered rollers?
A: While DC rollers are small, they typically lack the torque, durability, and sealing required for food machinery. The MTS62 delivers higher power, servo feedback options, and far greater reliability—all in a more hygienic, maintenancefriendly design.
Q5: How is NGI’s Application Engineering Team involved?
A: NGI works directly with customers’ engineering teams to configure the right setup based on the specific application. From torque and tension to machine layout and hygiene requirements, our Application Engineering Team helps optimize performance from the start.
Q6: Is integration into existing machines possible?
A: Absolutely. The MTS62 is designed for both new builds and retrofits. Its compact form and oil-free operation make it easy to install in tight areas without redesigning your entire setup.

Q7: Is the configuration process complicated or time-consuming?
A: Not at all. NGI’s consultative approach is efficient and streamlined. We spend time upfront to ensure you avoid costly missteps later, and most customers find that our process saves time in the long run.
Q8: How does it support hygienic machine design?
A: The MTS62 features a fully sealed, 100% oil-free design, eliminating contamination risks and simplifying cleaning. It helps machine builders meet hygiene requirements without compromise - ideal for washdown environments and sensitive applications.
Q9: What are the advantages of going oil-free?
A: Oil-free operation means:
• No risk of contamination
• No lubrication or leak maintenance
• Better hygiene compliance
• Cleaner, simpler machine design
The MTS62 eliminates one of the most common sources of hygienic failure in food machinery.
Q10: What’s the biggest benefit over traditional drum motors?
A: Size, oil-free design, and control. The MTS62 offer the benefits from our existing line, in a smaller diameter package, delivering 130W continuous power and up to 300W peak power. Combined with NGI’s engineering expertise, it’s a smarter, cleaner, more efficient drive solution.
