Abstract

The article presents analytical dependences for the maximum permissible bending radius of the conveyor belt in the longitudinal direction, in which the shape of the gutter is lost in areas with low tension, depending on the design and physical and mechanical properties of the belt. The results of calculations based on these dependencies for a number of modern rubber-fabric and rubber-rope belts are presented. The results obtained can be applied to determine the minimum allowable belt tension and the maximum allowable belt deflection, which usually occur in the loading zone of the conveyor and are the starting value when constructing a tension diagram in the process of traction calculation of the conveyor. They are also useful for determining the parameters of transition sections of conveyor belts.
