Abstract: A mechanical-electrical drive for a conveying element which can be operated in a power network with an AC voltage of between 350 volts [V] and 450 volts [V]. The mechanical-electrical drive has an electrical drive motor with a motor shaft and a drive wheel, coupled to the motor shaft in positive and/or negative fit, and a control and regulating unit for the electrical drive motor. The electrical drive motor and the drive wheel can be positioned on a conveying vehicle. It is intended that the mechanical-electrical drive should be capable of integration into existing AC power systems, with lower weight and smaller dimensions have a better degree of efficiency, and at the same time also have a lower maintenance requirement. For this purpose the electrical drive motor, which includes a housing, is configured as a brushless permanent magnet synchronous motor, wherein the drive wheel is coupled free of transmission to the motor shaft.
