Hi All

I am exploring for device which drives chain of the conveyor.Many companies are using cam follower devices now but it seems to be very expensive and unreliable.

The max pull to drive is 2650 N with the use of motor and gear box.

So please give me some great ideas.

What's wrong with using a sprocket?

RE: Device which drives chain for conveyor with the use of motor and gear

How does this chain drive the conveyor and how would a cam do it? Unless it is oscillatory or intermittent. I'm confused. Maybe you should explain this setup better or draw it.

RE: Device which drives chain for conveyor with the use of motor and gear

I guess I'm missing something.  We drive our conveyor chains with a sprocket on a motor shaft, much like a bicycle.
