Modular curve conveyor motor selection
Modular curve conveyor motor selection
(OP)
Hello All,
I got a new job in a automation company but i am new to this industry here i have to design a modular curve (Side Flex) conveyor. But i don't know the conveyor motor selection processes and how should calculate the motor torque for conveyor?. could any one help me for this calculation please?
My conveyor belt speed is 30m/min
Total product weight is 50 kg
If you need any other details please comment me.
Thank you
Justin

Failing that, at least find some old assemblies of a similar nature, and reverse engineer them.
Be careful that you get the final 'as built' or 'as modified' drawings of an assembly that works satisfactorily, so you don't accidentally under- power the assembly like their former engineer did...

power = force x velocity = torque x angular velocity
