Conveyor belt pulleys are installed on powered belt conveyors to drive the belt, redirect the belt back to the drive pulley, or help maintain the belts tracking so it follows the desired path during conveying the pulleys are mounted on shafts that engage the bearings and drive mechanisms used to support the pulley and power the belt
All conveyors require an additional belt tension in order to allow the pulley to drive forward an effective tension without slipping in a case of a simple horizontal conveyor t is the sum of the effective tension te and the slack side, the tension t t t e t for the inclined conveyor
Tensioning means letoff stands fig for installations with a relatively high degree of slope degrees or more, the method of handling is slightly different the roll of belt is set up as previously described it is often found most convenient to place it at or near the head pulley, since this generally is the most accessible assuming the
Launch the conveyor belt in the reverse run, to the tail pulley the belt must be empty check it during three entire revolutions relaunch the conveyor in the current direction and wait another three revolutions rectify the tension to center of the belt if you tighten on the left side, the belt must moves to the right see figures b amp c
A conveyor pulley is a mechanical device used to change the direction of the belt in a conveyor system, to drive the belt, and to tension the belt modern pulleys are made of rolled shells with flexible end disks and locking assemblies early pulley engineering was developed by josef sitzwohl in australia in and later by helmuth lange and walter schmoltzi in germany

Headdrive pulley is located at the discharge terminus of the conveyor it provides the driving force for the conveyor in order to increase pulley life and traction, it often has a larger diameter than other pulleys jagruti can supply pulleys with hot vulcanized rubber lagging, plain or
Whatever belt conveyor you operate, we have everything you need as well as belt and pulley wear and insufficient belt tension spillage can be extremely serious, as it is accompanied by skidding of the belt against the pulleys skidding generates friction and heat, which in
Too little tension results in slippage, excess heat, and premature belt amp pulley wear too much tension results in excessive stress on belts, bearings, and shafts however, there is still a wide range of tension which a belt will operate satisfactorily the intent is to find this proper range for any vbelt drive
Pulley driven conveyors pulley driven systems provide a friction drive which evenly distributes the drive tension across the width of the belt and does not subject the belt to rod wear as in sprocket driven systems pulley systems can generally handle larger loads than sprocket systems however, pulley systems can have problems with tracking
Jul , pulley lagging options and knurling lagging is the use of an elastomer compound on the face or contact surface of a pulley to increase the friction between the pulley and the belt increasing this friction reduces belt slipping and the belt tension required to drive the conveyor
Maintaining an adequate belt tension is critical to preventing slippage its important to note, however, that while overtensioning the belt may seem like an easy fix, this should be avoided, as it can stretch and damage the belt, as well as put added stress on the motor when there is not enough grip between the pulley and the belt
to adjust tension device two bend pulleys above vertical takeup device should be not only perpendicular to the centerline of longitudinal direction of conveyor belt, but also to the gravity line when screw takeup device or hydraulic tension device is used, two bearing blocks of tension pulley should be translated at the same time, to make sure the axial line is perpendicular to belt
Maintaining an adequate belt tension is critical to preventing slippage its important to note, however, that while overtensioning the belt may seem like an easy fix, this should be avoided, as it can stretch and damage the belt, as well as put added stress on the motor when there is not enough grip between the pulley and the belt
Description a flat belt conveyor with adjustable drive section positionBelt tension can be adjusted at the center drive section, and the overall length does not change after tension adjustment with the addition of tapped holes for pulley holders, mounting of optional parts conveyor type belt conveyor maximum load lbs
Drive pulleys drive pulleys, which can also be the head pulley, are driven by a motor and power transmission unit to propel the belt and material to the discharge bend pulleys a bend pulley is used for changing the direction of the belt takeup pulley a takeup pulley is used to provide the belt with the proper amount of tension

lower belt tension and less takeup weight increases life of components and belt douglas truck tire tuff conveyor pulley lagging delivers increased traction and pulley life over non lagged pulleys increased traction between the pulley face and the belt bottom cover reduces belt slippage and helps to improve belt tracking
Minimum pulley diameters are dependent on the type of splice, fastener used, belt tension and belt tension required troughabilly and load support can be dependent on cover gauges and compounds used impact rating is based on the use of proper rubber impact idlers or bed plus proper loading and transfer conditions rating are based on lumps and fines or sized material up to quot lumps
Conveyor tension and takeup systems page waves if the acceleration rate is constant, there will a continuous imperceptible wave exhibited by a progressively decreasing tension all the way down the belt
Lag drive pulley increase belt wrap on drive pulley increase belt tension if the belt is under tensioned c material buildup on the pulley face or conveyor structure clean system, improve material containment, install cleaners, check skirting, install belt scrapers in front of pulleys d material is getting trapped between belt and pulleys
Too little tension results in slippage, excess heat, and premature belt amp pulley wear too much tension results in excessive stress on belts, bearings, and shafts however, there is still a wide range of tension which a belt will operate satisfactorily the intent is to find this proper range for any vbelt drive
Snub pulley a conveyor pulley used to increase belt wrap around a drive pulley, typically for the purpose of improving traction take up pulley a conveyor pulley used to remove slack and provide tension to a conveyor belt takeup pulleys are more common to conveyors of longer lengths
Belt conveyor pulley is a mechanical device which can guides the belt running, changes the belt direction and tensions the belt etc they are dimensioned according to the characteristics of each conveyor and the position they occupy in a belt conveyor, the pulleys must withstand the forces imposed by both belt tension and conveyed load
Feb , the proper tension is the lowest tension at which the belt wont slip or squeal under peak load however, there is still a wide range of tension between these two extremes in which a drive will operate sufficiently the primary goal of learning how to tension a vbelt is to find this happy tension
The takeuppulley and the two bend pulleys are use to tension the belt alternatively you can e g pull the tail pulley horizontally the head pulley seems to be the driven one the snub pulleys are used to increase the wrap angle between tail resp head pulley and the belt this is often used when the belt is driven by friction between pulley
Nov , too little tension a belt with not enough tension can cause the belt to slip the loss of belt tension will cause wear to pulley lagging, improper belt tracking, and premature belt failure checking belt tension the easiest way to check the tension of a conveyor belt is to pay attention to it you will notice signs if the tension is off
Second, additional tension must be added to the effective belt tension te to prevent slippage on the drive pulley this is called slack side tension ts, or commonly called t ts d x te

Lakshmi sandhana last modified date august , getting the conveyor belt tension right is imperative for the system to work smoothly the belt needs to conform to the crown of any pulley present and be slip resistant even under the most challenging external conditions to calculate the conveyor belt tension accurately, start by collecting all the information that you need and enter it
