Belt Tensions

Posted in: , on 10. Dec. 2008 - 14:58

Please assume that I am having a conveyor with centre to centre distance as 100 metres.

It has vertical take up with 3 tonnes. Belt is 800mm , EP 800/4. Drive pulley dia is 500 mm.

Motor is consuming 20 amps in no load and 30 amperes with load. Voltage is 415 with 3 phase and Power factor angle is 0.9.

Is it possible to find T1 and T2 of the conveyor ?

Can I use the above values of T1 and T2 when replacing the full belt, so that the conveyor elongation will be "beneficially" achieved?

Do we need any further details ?

Please note that the above values are given as examples.

Thanks & Regards
