Minimum Pulley Diameter
Technical Information
MINIMUM PULLEY DIAMETERS (TO DIN 22101)
The pulley diameters in a belt conveyor system depend on the design, on strains and on the type of splice
of the conveyor belt. For determining the minimum diameters, the following pulley groups will be
distinguished:
= Group A: Drive pulley and other pulleys in the range of higher belt tensions
= Group B: Deflection pulleys in the range of lower belt tensions
= Group C: Snub pulleys (change in belt moving direction = 30°)
0 gers @®
The minimum pulley diameter for Group A pulleys can be roughly determined by utilizing the thickness
value of the tensile member in the belt as follows:
(Drvn)eaa = Material Characteristic Value dex
Frente member material in belt lngicudinal rnaterial characteristic
direction ahve
E (Polyester) los
P (Polyamide) 90
St (Steel cables) 145
A pulley diameter so obtained shall be rounded up to the next higher value of the table below, in which
there are shown for each minimum values for group b and C, too.
