Belt Conveyor Roller Design & Belt Tracking
Belt Conveyor Roller Design & Belt Tracking
(OP)
Hello,
I am currently designing an inclined belt conveyor that has two rollers and one is driven. I do not know the function\design criteria of crown or taper on the rollers and was wondering if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction.
I also am interested in the possible causes of belt mistracking.
Best Regards,
Joe K

belt by themselves during operation under normal
conditions (belt pulleys properly aligned , etc.).
The usual amount of crowning is 1/8" per foot of
pulley width. Further readings on this topic can be
found in Machinery Handbook 24 p.2278.
Belt mistracking can be due to improper belt tension,
misaligned pulleys or shafting, crooked belt and too
much crowning.
