Conveyor drive videos

Conveyor drive videos: imperceptible assistants
The drive rollers of the conveyor are perhaps one of the most inconspicuous, but at the same time important details of any conveyor production. Imagine a long tape along which cargo constantly moves. What makes her move, and how does the goods do not fall? All this is thanks to small, but strong drive rollers.
Functions and device of drive rollers
These videos do not just support the conveyor tape. They also transmit torque from the engine to the tape, thanks to the special connection mechanism. This can be portrayed: imagine that a drive video is a kind of bridge between the engine and the conveyor tape. He endures the force that makes the tape move at a certain speed. The videos themselves are most often made of durable materials such as steel or hardened cast iron to withstand the load. Sometimes, to increase durability, they are covered with special alloys.
Varieties and features of choice
There are many types of drive rollers, each of which is suitable for a certain type of conveyor and cargo. They differ in diameter, manufacturing material, type of fastening and drive method. For example, rollers for working with fragile goods will differ from those designed for heavy cargo. The choice of drive rollers should be balanced and responsible to ensure the safety and long uninterrupted operation of the conveyor. Incorrectly selected rollers can lead to damage to the conveyor or damage to cargo.
Maintenance and prevention
In order for the drive rollers to serve for a long time and regularly, it is necessary to conduct regular maintenance. This includes a check for damage, traces of wear or malfunctions. Check the condition of the rollers systematically, just as you check the condition of your car. This will reveal problems at an early stage and prevent serious breakdowns. Do not neglect the regular lubrication of rollers, which also extends their service life. Regular maintenance is a guarantee of uninterrupted operation of the entire conveyor mechanism.
