To clarify parameters of a crown roller and tapered roller that affect the automatic aligning of an elastic belt, we investigated an analytical method that can quantitatively predict the movement in the width direction. In this analysis method, we assumed that the belt movement in the width direction occurs owing to a velocity distribution in the belt. Then, the validity of the proposed analysis method was examined by comparing the calculation results and experimental results of the belt movement in the width direction. The comparison showed good agreement between the calculation results and experimental results. Furthermore, it was observed that the radius of curvature of the crown roller and taper angle of the tapered roller affect the movement in the width direction, while the velocity has no effect.
