• Low Profile Conveyor Reliability
  selection of conveyor features. All belting is rated at a specific minimum pulley diameter. However, most conveyor manufacturers do not list this data. An average value for a high percentage of belting used on low profile conveyors is 1” minimum diameter. The closer the pulley diameter approaches this value...
• How to Apply Direct-Drive Linear Servomotors
  A novel direct-drive linear servomotor with only one moving part needs special design considerations. There's a growing demand for smaller linear motors. Manufacturers have developed new direct- drive linear servos in response. Standard rotary servomotors spin leadscrews or pull belt drives...

  for the linear motion mechanism and the drive motor are as follows. This equation is a conversion of needed linear positioning accuracy and rotational accuracy per 360 degree rotation, easily understandable by the [Fig.2] show below. (2) Example. 1. If timing belt and pulley selection candidates are as follows...
• Roll Drive Design Considerations for Steel Mill Rolling Operations (.pdf)
  the electro-mechanical system that delivers power to. the roll drives a "critical to production" component. Many older designed mills utilize single drive systems (motor, coupling and speed reducer) to. power several conveyor rolls. This design uses a single motor, coupling and speed reducer. to drive the primary roll...

  backpacks and holdalls. Drum motors are particularly suitable for driving lightweight conveyor segments, since it too is "reduced to the max" - with all drive components like motor, casing and conveyor rollers combined into one unit that requires no complicated, flange-mounted lateral components. Nor...

• Basics of Configuring Drives
  the calculations for gearheads and toothed belt drives. There are many models and variants of gearheads, from a simple spur gear stage to a Harmonic Drive gear. Standard types are planetary and spur gear heads. The most important selection criteria for these gearheads are output torque, input speed...
