Abstract
Drum motors are highly versatile, but traditionally they are used as belt drives in conveyors. The design of a conveyor belt can be quite complex. There are many different types of conveyor belts, conveyor designs, environmental conditions, goods to be conveyed, applications, etc., and each parameter can have a major impact on the belt drive.
There are certain rules that must be observed when dimensioning a drum motor for a conveyor belt application.
