Belt conveyor pulleys consist of carrying idlers, driving pulleys, bent pulleys, snub pulleys, and take-up pulleys. As well as its high-strength welding and precision processing technology, Longwei Automation is dedicated to offering you a standardized, serialized, high-strength, high-quality belt conveyor pulley one-stop solution.
Driven Pulley: A rotating shaft-driven pulley of the BCP-D series is used for the main components of the underneath driving belt conveyor.
Head/Tail Pulley: For both ends of belt conveyor, according to the different drive type and structure.
Bend Pulley/Takeup Pulley: To adjust the running deviation, tighten the belt, increase the driving roller angle, adopts BCP-R fixed shaft belt conveyor pulley or R1200 series roller. As the bending pulley and snub pulley, please consider the belt tension as well as lateral force.
Carrying Idler: Choose R1200 series conveyor roller (anti-static type) to support belts, simplify structures, reduce friction.
These components work together in a typical conveyor system:
The Motor & Gearbox turn the Drive Pulley.
The Snub Pulley increases the belt's contact with the Drive Pulley for better grip.
The belt carries material over Carrying Idlers.
The Bend Pulley(s) guide the empty return belt on its path back.
The Take-up Pulley (often part of a gravity tower using bend pulleys) applies constant tension to the entire system.
Return Idlers support the empty belt on its return journey back to the drive pulley.
Pulleys are robust structures, typically consisting of:
Shell: The cylindrical outer body, made from rolled steel plate.
End Discs: The circular plates welded to the shell at each end.
Shaft: A solid or tubular steel shaft running through the center, supported by bearings.
Hub/Locking Assembly: A device (like a bushing) that securely connects the shaft to the end disc, allowing for easy installation and removal.
Lagging: The applied rubber or ceramic coating on the surface for critical pulleys like the drive pulley.
