How to Measure conveyor belt
Jun 11, 2024
The circumference of the conveyor belt is the circular length of the belt as a whole, not the length of a single side. Customers need to pay attention to it. In addition, there are many ways to confirm the circumference, and a common one is to test the distance between points A and B, and add them together to obtain the circumference length. The error is not a big deal, as it can be adjusted by the equipment. The width of the conveyor belt is simple, just measure the width of the conveyor belt directly. Note that the measurement is the width of the conveyor belt, not the width of the conveyor equipment, because there are mechanical edges on both sides of the conveyor equipment, and the thickness of the conveyor belt is also an important measurement standard. A caliper or ruler is required for measurement. A slight error of one millimeter does not affect the use as long as the pully is large.

How to Measure Belt Length for an endless finger joint?
|
Measure belt length and mark on the belt. 1) Measure Length from cut end. 2) Measure length from finger end (For continuous measuring) |
The first mark40mm +finger length from the edge of the belt. (See diagram to left.) ② Based on the first mark, make a second mark at the ending point of the required belt length -5mm. (Put both marks on the front side, i.e. on the operator side.) ③ When consecutively making endless belts, obtain required belt length and from the second mark made at the preceding finger joint, measure out the required belt length and make another mark. Repeat the above process. By doing this, punching can always be made at the right position and there will be no wasted belt. |
