Working Principle of Latest Roller Conveyor
From the working principle, the latest roller conveyor cleverly uses the friction between the rotating roller and the object to realize the forward movement of the object. In terms of power source, it is mainly divided into two types: powered roller conveyor and unpowered roller conveyor. The driving device of the powered roller conveyor is like the "power heart" of the equipment. It contains multiple key components such as motor, reducer, sprocket, chain, belt, etc. As the power source, the motor converts the high-speed rotating power into low-speed and high-torque power suitable for the rotation of the roller through the reducer after starting. Then, with the help of transmission components such as sprocket, chain or belt, the power is accurately transmitted to each roller, so that the roller starts to rotate at a uniform speed, thereby driving the material placed on the roller to move forward smoothly. The unpowered roller conveyor is relatively simple. It mainly relies on the gravity of the material itself or the manpower applied from the outside to push the material to move on the roller. This type of conveyor has unique application advantages in some occasions where the conveying speed and accuracy are not high, the material weight is light or the conveying distance is short.
