In this study we will focus on the problems that arise due to the high travel speeds that the piston of a hydraulic motor develops during operation. These speeds lead to an increase in the value of the kinetic friction coefficient.
The study of the dependence of belt width on the loading method of the material on the belt of equipment for transporting granular materials is essential for optimizing the efficiency and safety of belt conveyors. Here are some important aspects:
1. Belt width: This influences the transport capacity and the stability of the material on the belt. A wider belt can transport a larger amount of material but also requires a more robust support system.
2. Loading method: The way in which the material is loaded on the belt affects the weight distribution and the stability of the transport. Uniform loading prevents the accumulation of material and reduces the risk of skidding or blocking.
3. Type of material: The properties of the transported material, such as density and friction angle, influence the choice of belt width and loading method. Granular materials with high friction angles require belts with special surfaces to prevent them from slipping.
4. Belt configuration: Belts can be flat or trough-shaped, depending on the conveying needs. Trough-shaped belts are more effective for conveying granular materials because they offer greater stability.
These aspects are essential for the efficient design and operation of belt conveyors in various industries.
