The bearing center is the center point of the outer ring raceway. In conveyor systems, the bearing center is a function of conveyor belt width, pulley shell, and the pulley support structure. A list of standard-bearing centers used in bulk material handli...
The bearing center is the center point of the outer ring raceway. In conveyor systems, the bearing center is a function of conveyor belt width, pulley shell, and the pulley support structure. The bearing centers are classified as follows:
The pulley hub is a point of connection between the shaft and the end disk or pulley wall. Types of pulley hubs used in bulk material handling are provided below.
The journal of the shaft is the outermost part of the shaft that is in contact with the bearing. A list of standard journal shaft diameters used in bulk materials handling is provided below.
Conveyor pulleys are often covered with a variety of materials including rubber, fabric, urethane, ceramic, or other material. Lagging is used on driving pulleys to increase the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley. Lagging is also used to ...
There are groove configurations and sizes of lagging which can be furnished on the pulley to enhance belt tracking or reduce the accumulation of material on the pulley face. A list of different lagging patterns used in bulk materials handling is provided...
The pulley diameter plays an important role in conveyor system design. Standardization and simplification of pulley design can reduce capex and opex on a bulk material handling project. Standard pulley diameters used in bulk materials handling are provide...
Conveyor pulleys are designed for use on belt conveyor systems as a means to drive, redirect, provide tension to, or help track the conveyor belt. Types of pulleys used in bulk material handling are provided below.
The shaft diameter used in a conveyor system on a pulley assembly is a function of two criteria, shaft diameter required for strength and shaft diameter required for deflection. The shaft and pulley are treated as a composite structural assembly. This is ...
Standard Pulley Dimensions
A list of standard shaft dimensions used in bulk materials handling is provided below.
Rolls and pulleys are fabricated from steel tubes or a continuous rim that is fitted with two end discs. The end disc provides a bearing housing to the pulleys and rolls. The end disc plays an integral role in the overall strength of the pulleys. The clas...
A locking element is a device that uses frictional resistance to transmit torque between the pulley and the shaft. Types of locking elements used in bulk material handling are provided below.
