5609 A study of Belt Mistracking on Crown-Face Rollers and a Flat Belt Transport System (1)
Details
In a flat belt transport system, it is known that the belt mistracking occurs as a consequence of the roller's misalignment. Crown-face roller makes belt drive near the center stable. So the mistracked belt stops at a constant position where it balances, and the mistracked amount is decided in each case of misalignment. We analyzed the relationship between the roller's misalignment and the belt mistracking. As a result, we have formulated an experimental relational expression describing the belt's mistracked amount, which consists of some parameters such as the roller's misalignment and the belt expansion rate. We also clarified that the mistracked amount does not increase at high transport speed.
