    ROLLER CONVEYOR ied into two groups according to the principle of Roller conveyors are clas: conveying action. These are: 1, Unpowered Roller Conveyor 2. Powered Roller Conveyor Ina unpowered roller conveyor, the rollers are not driven or powered from external source. The load rolls over the series of rollers either manual push or push from an endless moving chain. Generally these conveyors operate at horizontal plane, but at times a gentle slope is given to this conveyor to aid motion of the loads. An inclination of 1.5% to 3% ensures that the load will roll by gravity. Such conveyors are termed gravity roller conveyor Ina powered roller conveyor, all or a selected number of rollers are driven by one or number of motors depending on the selected drive arrangement. The driven roller transmits motion to the loads by friction. The powered roller alled at a slightly inclined position, up to 10°up or up to conveyors may be insti 17° down. The load can be moved in either directions by changing the direction of rotation of the rollers, where these are called reversing conveyors. Unpowered Roller Conveyors culations involved are to determine the force required to The major design cal f the loads for a gravity conveyor. overcome the resistance to motion o' Total resistance to motion is made up of : (i) Resistance to rolling of the load on rollers due to friction ance in the roller bearings.
