22、firmed the 2003 Edition.This 2009 Edition is Identical to the 2003 Edition1 SECTION 1 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS For general definitions, see also CEMA Publication 102, Conveyor Terms and Definitions and CEMA Publication 110, Electrical Terms and Definitions. ACCESSORY (LINESHAFT) - A device which receiv
23、es power from and contributes to the horsepower requirement of the lineshaft. CARRYING ROLLER - The conveyor roller upon which the object being transported is supported. (See Fig. 1, Page 4) COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION - A numerical expression of the ratio between the force of contact existing between t
24、wo surfaces and the resistant force tending to oppose the motion of one with respect to the other. The coefficient of friction is used in determining the power necessary to drive a machine, or to determine the maximum angle of inclination for a conveyor. CONVEYOR WIDTH - In unit handling, the dimens
25、ion inside to inside of frame rails. Other abbreviations used are: “BF“ - between frame, “BB“ - back to back, “IF“ - inside frame. (See Fig. 1, Page 4). COUPLER CHAIN - A chain, plastic or metal, which performs the function of connecting one sprocket to an adjacent sprocket. (See Fig. 2 , Page 4). C
26、OUPLER SPROCKET - A sprocket located at the extreme end of a lineshaft positioned to allow connecting to a second sprocket on a second lineshaft by using a coupler chain. (See Fig. 1 2) when thecarrying roller is stopped, the drive belt stops, the spool stops, only the shaft keeps turning.This is an
27、 important consideration when there are people placing product on or workingaround the conveyor.In some locations within a system, a higher driving force may be desired. Some methods toaccomplish this are (1) by cutting a keyway in the lineshaft and using a spool with an integralkey which prevents s
28、lipping of the spool in the lineshaft, (2) by using drive belts which providehigher belt tension, or (3) spools with a higher coefficient of friction. Typical applications areat intersections and locations where deflectors are employed.Another commonly used device is the speed-up spool. A speed-up s
29、pool is a spool with alarger outside diameter. When speed-up spools are mounted on the same lineshaft as otherspools the rollers driven from the speed-up spools turn at higher revolutions per minute(RPMs). Speed-up spools are used to increase the product speed in an area where a gapbetween products
30、is desired. Some common applications are at diverters, transfers, stops orphoto sensors.Lineshaft conveyors are typically installed horizontal; however, depending on the producthandled, they may be declined or slightly inclined. Lineshaft conveyor performs well in adecline application because the dr
31、ive belts provide resistance preventing the carrying rollerfrom free rolling.Ideally, three (3) rollers should be under the load at all times. Occasionally, two (2) rollers willbe sufficient depending on the product handled. Typical roller spacings are 1.5“ to 6“ oncenter. Lineshaft conveyors are no
32、rmally run at speeds between 20 and 120 feet per minute(FPM); however, greater or lesser speeds may be used. Lineshaft conveyor is suited forhigher speeds because the elastic drive belts maintain a continuous load on the rollerbearings. This reduces the shock to the ball bearings resulting in quiet
33、running conveyors.When variable speed is required, a mechanical speed changer between the motor andreducer may be used. Electrically, the speed may be changed using SCR or variablefrequency drives.7Lineshaft conveyor should be considered when the following conditions exist:1. Clean and dry applicati
34、on2. Required quiet operation3. Personnel work along side the conveyor4. Temperature between +10 degrees F and +120 degrees F (Note: evaluate type of roller bearing lubricant with manufacturer.)5. Conveyor layouts with numerous components and/or accessoriesCareful consideration and consultation with
35、 the manufacturer should be exercised whileapplying lineshaft conveyor when the following conditions exist:1. Wet or oily environment2. Abrasive or corrosive environment3. Presence of ultra-violet light and sunlight (effects life of drive belt)4. Application requiring frequent start/stop operation5.
36、 Elevation changes from horizontal6. Temperatures below +10 degrees F or above +120 degrees FConveyor WidthNormally the conveyor is 2“ to 3“ wider than the widest load. Loads may require a greaterwidth for clearance around horizontal curves.() Clearance“2Radius2LengthPackageWidthPackageRadiusG22+=Fi
37、gure 28Drive ArrangementThere are many variations in drive arrangements. A gearmotor is the most common. Theoutput shaft of the reducer is connected to the lineshaft by a chain drive or synchronous beltdrive. The reducer may be right angle or parallel type. The gearmotor may be mountedinternal or ex
38、ternal to the frame and be underhung or side mounted.SupportsFloor supports should be provided with vertical adjustment for leveling the conveyor. Adjustable hangers, such as rods with threaded ends, are generally used with conveyors atelevations over seven feet above the floor.Support spacing is de
39、pendent on loading, and in some cases, on building construction. Supports must be spaced to limit frame deflections as detailed in CEMA Standard 401, “RollerConveyors - Non Powered“.Accumulation ConveyorLineshaft accumulation conveyor is a powered live roller conveyor designed to minimize oreliminat
40、e the pressure build-up between adjacent unit loads under blocked load conditions.Zero or low pressure can be obtained through zone controlled type operation. Individualrollers or sections of the conveyor can be customized to create dwell stations, accumulationareas, or reverses in direction of trav
41、el from a common lineshaft.In some types of accumulation conveyor auxiliary sensing rollers are used to release power tothe lineshaft sequentially in zones as the product is accumulated. In other types a brake isengaged to stop the carrying rollers in each zone where accumulation is required. For mo
42、reinformation on accumulation conveyors consult the manufacturers. Many methods areproprietary and may be patented9ACCESSORIESA spur section that is driven from the main line conveyor lineshaft. Commonly these are 30 or 45for merging and diverging. Since the spur portion is driven by a crossover and
43、 a universal joint, thespur and main line section are fabricated as a unit.Straight sections with tapered ends that mount up to main lines. These are used to create a divergeor merge in the system. Commonly, these are 30 or 45 for merging and diverging. A spur isindependently powered. See Intersecti
44、ons.10A wide straight section used to merge two parallel lines into one. The rollers are skewed to acenter rail to direct the product to exit the downstream end on the centerline of the section.It is possible for both of the infeed lines and the take-away lines to be powered from the samesource.Used
45、 to change horizontal directions. Common degrees are 30, 45, 60 and 90. Others are possiblebut are limited by the universal joints and the need to have two support bearings on each shaftsegment.11Used to transfer product either on or off of a main line conveyor at a 90 angle. The carrying surfaceof
46、the transfer can be chain or belt. Some manufacturers offer a bi-directional unit than can transferto or from both sides of the main line directly across from each other. There are various types of diverters that utilize different mechanisms to direct product from a main lineconveyor onto an adjacen
47、t conveyor. Some types are pop-up wheel, swivel roller and pivot roller.12This enables the transference of power from one side of the conveyor to the other, or betweenadjacent conveyors. This device can also affect a speed change for a section of the conveyor.Used when a lineshaft conveyor is instal
48、led on an incline or decline to make a smooth vertical transitionto horizontal. Typically power transmission is accomplished by a universal joint through the transition.13A pivoted powered section that opens for passage by personnel. A spring loaded clutch is commonlyused to connect the lineshaft in
49、 the gate with the main lineshaft in the conveyor when the gate isclosed. Power cannot be transferred through the gate, therefore a drive is needed on each side ofthe gate.14OTHER DEVICES FREQUENTLY USEDWITH LINESHAFT CONVEYORDEFLECTORS A mechanical device which guides product from one side of the conveyor to theother. There are various reasons for doing this but typically it is for guidingproducts from one conveyor line to another. There are two basic types ofdeflectors.1.
