Abstract
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.
