DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR DETERMINING AND CALCULATING LOADS APPEARING ON BELT CONVEYOR GUIDE ROLLER MECHANISMS

This article discusses the development of a method for determining and calculating loads arising in guide and support roller mechanisms of a belt conveyor. The transportation of gold ore in mining enterprises is analyzed considering the inclined motion of the belt and its operational movement modes. The influence of loads on the speed range, amplitude, and vibration characteristics of the system is scientifically substantiated. The distribution of static and dynamic loads within the roller mechanism elements is determined. The proposed calculation method is aimed at improving the reliability and operational efficiency of belt conveyor systems.
