3 Model: RLVDC
The Roller Live DC (RLVDC) Conveyor is designed with brushless 24V DC motor rollers. These rollers
are referred to as motor driven rollers (MDRs). RLVDC is used in applications where general transport is
all that is required. The rollers are “live” meaning they run continuously. The RLVDC is optimal for light to
medium products and works great with a variety of product sizes and types.
The model shown in Figure 1 serves as a reference to become familiar with the components and
terminology used in this manual. These terms will be used throughout the manual and are common
among many of the other Bastian Solutions’ conveyor product lines.

The model in Figure 1 shows a 5’ RLVDC bed section. The RLVDC has 3” roller centers and has (2) 30”
zones. Each zone is made up of (9) rollers and (1) MDR. The rollers and MDRs each have two grooves
that allow them to be banded together with O-rings. Each zone has an MDR that needs to be connected
to a control card. The model shown in Figure 1 contains a dual zone card. These can be used to control
two zones. While this is a standard configuration, another very common configuration is one zone per
card.
