Optimizing Friction Losses of Conveyor Systems Using Large-Diameter Idler Rollers

Optimizing Friction Losses of Conveyor Systems Using Large-Diameter Idler Rollers

This study investigates the influence of idler roller diameter on indentation rolling resistance and idler rotating resistance in belt conveying systems, crucial for long-distance bulk material transport. It encompasses the impact on grease-lubricated rolling bearings, grease-filled labyrinth seals,...
