Device for sorting trunks

A device for sorting trunks, said device comprising

• a conveyor device having carriers and ejectors arranged along the conveyor device and providing a controlled discharge of the trunks from the conveyor device into log magazines responsive to signals from a superordinate controller;
• at least two pairs of the electors each being operatively associated with a common rotary drive, the pairs of ejectors being drive-connected to one another by an axle;
• wherein the rotary drive is a torque motor having
• a rotor that is directly rigidly connected to the axle and
• a stator that is supported in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to the conveyor device;
• wherein the electors associated with the rotary drive are supported on the conveyor device;
• wherein the axle has two opposite ends, and the torque motor is fixedly connected to the conveyor device at one of the ends of the axle, and a bearing block is fixedly connected to the conveyor device at the other end of the axle;
• and
• wherein the rotor of the torque motor is flanged directly to a undiminished torsional cross-section of the axle on a drive side of said rotor;
• and
• wherein the rotor has a motor-side bearing supporting the rotor and the axle, said motor-side bearing having a journal bearing supported between a journal fixedly connected to the housing and a bearing receptacle on an inner circumference side of the rotor.
