A quick release mounting assembly for an endless belt conveyor that allows a drive motor to be connected to a drive roller of the conveyor. The quick release mounting assembly includes a drive roller hub connected to the shaft of the drive roller. A drive motor hub is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor. Both the drive roller hub and the drive motor hub include an external series of external splines. The mounting assembly includes a drive coupling having a first receiving area that engages the drive motor hub and a second receiving area that engages the drive roller hub such that the drive coupling transfers rotation of the drive shaft to the drive roller. The drive coupling is received within a housing that is removably mounted to a gearbox of the drive motor.

In order to provide a transport unit for a long stator linear motor, wherein the orientation thereof can be easily determined on the long stator linear motor during operational use, according to the invention, the transport unit (1) has a first guide side (FS1) on which a first guide group (G1) is arranged and a second guide side (FS2) on which a second guide group (G2) is arranged. A first magnetic side (S1) positioned laterally relative to the longitudinal direction (x) is opposite a second magnetic side (S2), wherein the first magnetic side (S1) has a magnetic variable with a first value (w1) at a first test distance (a1) from the center of the first longitudinal extension (I1) in the direction of the first end (I1e), and on the first magnetic side (S1), a magnetic variable with a second value (w2), corresponding to the first value (w1), at the first test distance (a1) from the center of the first longitudinal extension (I1) in the direction of the first start (I1a). On the second magnetic side (S2), the transport unit (1) has a magnetic variable with a third value (w3) at a second test distance (a2) from the center of the second longitudinal extension (I2) in the direction of the second end (I2e), and a magnetic variable with a fourth value (w4), corresponding to the third value (w3), at the second test distance (a2) from the center of the second longitudinal extension (I2) in the direction of the second start (I2a), wherein the first and second values (w1, w2) differ from the third and fourth values (w3, w4).

A multi-angle sorter having an omnidirectionally endless conveyor belt surrounding a polygonal frame to form a belt-frame assembly supported atop a roller drive including multiple pairs of diagonally opposite roller sets. Each pair of roller sets is arranged to drive the belt in a corresponding angular direction. A grid sorter comprises a grid of intersecting conveyor lines composed of multi-angle sorters at the intersections in line with conventional bidirectional conveyors.
