The article presents generalized to a wide range of conveyor belts analytical dependences limit operating parameters of the pipeline, which in areas with low tension loss occurs form the gutter, from the cylindrical stiffness of the load-carrying belt and its structural and physical-mechanical properties. The results of calculations on these dependences for a range of modern rubber-fabric and rubber-wire belts are presented. The obtained results can be used for the verification calculation of 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 during the traction calculation of the conveyor. The obtained dependencies are especially necessary for determining the parameters of the transition sections of belt conveyors.
