- High-speed industrial conveyors
- Assembly lines and logistics automation
Understanding Groove Distance
Groove spacing plays a vital role in ensuring stable belt operation and accurate alignment. Each groove in the roller supports a PU or PVC round belt that drives the roller efficiently.
Benefits of Proper Groove Distance:
- Accurate belt tracking
- Smooth power transmission
- Reduced belt slippage
- Optimized roller performance
Customization:
We tailor groove placement to your needs:
- Belt pitch
- Conveyor width
- Drive zone configuration
Standard Formulas: - BF (Body Frame) = RL + 15 mm
- SL (Shaft Length) = RL + 16 mm
