DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW DESIGN OF A BELT CONVEYOR GUIDE ROLLER MECHANISM AND CALCULATION OF VIBRATION AMPLITUDE

This article discusses the development of a new design of a roller mechanism for a belt conveyor guide widely used in the mining industry. External impacts and loads acting on the roller mechanism are analyzed, and their influence on the dynamic behavior of the system is investigated. A mathematical model is developed to determine the vibration amplitude and angular velocity of the mechanism during operation. The effectiveness of applying elastic-element sliding bearings to reduce vibrations and improve structural reliability is substantiated.
