MEASUREMENTS AND SIMULATION OF GUIDING EFFECTS WITH FLAT BELT CONVEYORS |

- Abstract:
- Flat conveyor belts supported and driven by cylindrical drums run in a state of instability because of lack of guiding forces. Faults such as asymmetry in the position or shape of pulleys and idlers, uneven load distribution or acting transverse forces such as those induced by friction will make the belt run out of true. On the other hand, some of these effects are used for guiding flat running belts.
This paper deals with the guiding effects of two significant features; the skewed cylindrical pulley and the conical pulley. In the first part the implemented measurements are described and in the second part a mechanical model is established for both features. Finally, in the third part measurements are compared with simulation results to verify the developed mechanical model. - Keywords:
