SELECTION AND LOAD RATING S - SERIES
OF THE IDLER BRACKET
Basic information:
Q = 1000 t/h
v = 2.2 m/s
G = 15 kg/m
B = 1200 mm
a = 1.2 m
Load for one idler bracket F
T
Calculation of idler bracket load
Q = conveyor capacity (t/h)
v = belt speed (m/s)
G = belt weight (kg/m)
F
T
= total load of one idler bracket (N)
B = belt width (mm)
a = idler spacing (m)
Choosing brackets for bulk conveyors depends on the amount
of weight to be loaded onto each individual bracket. Please
consider the possible additional loads presented on the
"Selection and load rating of the idlers for belt conveyors"
page.
It is assumed that the load on the belt is distributed evenly. If
there are large variations in the distribution of the load, then
the basis of measurement for the largest possible load must
be considered. Likewise, if there is a possibility that the
conveyor will be over-loaded (i.e. loading the conveyor while
it is stopped), then that particular weight must be used for the
basis of measurement. Additionally, the weight caused by large
pieces mixed in with the material must also be considered.
The bracket is selected from the curve right above
the intersection.
