My initial problem starts with finding the suspended length of the conveyor belt (lets treat it as a cable between supports) Taking an Assymetrical catenary approach (Since the idlers, or in this case considered as simple supports, are at different heights) to the problem. I've looked at many...

See snapshot of model above. Cannot really provide much more at the moment. Essentially I need to find the load on the centre roller on the left hand suspended idler. Can see there is a lot of free belt between the suspended idlers and the shuttling idler on the right. I believe i'll need to...

Thank you both for your input. I will try the Mech engineering general forum as you have suggested.

Hi All, Recently moving from the O&G industry into mining, so I have never done any calcs on conveyors / idlers. I require some help with calculating the load on a centre roll of a suspended, 3 roll idler set. Doing some research, I find that using catenary action on a cable might be the best...

Hi All, Recently moving from the O&G industry into mining, so I have never done any calcs on conveyors / idlers. I require some help with calculating the load on a centre roll of a suspended, 3 roll idler set. The reason why I want to do this is because I notice there is significant length of...
