Roller Conveyors and Belt Tracking

[Smiley8]

If you had a roller conveyor and a roller was cricked or one side of the roller was higher, would the belt tend to climb (or be tracked) towards the higher side of the roller?

A belt tends to align itself perpendicularly with the downstream roller. If the rollers are not parallel with each other then the belt will wander.

I am not sure what kind of conveyor you are talking about though, is it a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor?

Yes, a belt will usually climb to the high side of a cricked roller, flat or troughing.

I meant a conveyor that has rollers aswell as a belt around it. Some rollers are driven and some are not. Thanks for the help!
