A follow-up paper to “Ceramic Lagging – A Good Thing Can Be Costly if Misused” presented at the 2006 annual meeting. The performance of drive pulley lagging has become much more important in recent years due to higher torque drives, higher conveyor belt speeds, and the use of ceramic lagging. The popularity of ceramic lagging is due to the reduced risk of drive pulley slip and reduction of lagging wear. However, the application of ceramic lagging to a pulley can lead to lagging failure of costly wear to the belt; the most expensive component on the conveyor. Modern analysis and simulation tools and a better understanding of how lagging and belting interact during torque transmission are necessary for a modern conveyor designer to select this relatively inexpensive but important component. Case studies will be presented as well as analysis techniques. Link: http://overlandconveyor.com/pdf/DrivePulleyLagging_theimportanceofpropertechnicalanalysisandselection.pdf | |
