8. CALCULATION OF MINIMUM
INCLINATION ANGLE
8
The major design calculations involved are to determine the force required to overcome the resistance
to motion of the loads and the angle of inclination required for a gravity conveyor. Total resistance to
motion is made up of:
• Resistance to rolling of the load on rollers due to friction.
• Frictional resistance in the roller bearings.
• Resistance due to sliding of the load on the rollers and force required for imparting kinetic energy to
rollers.
Resistance to rolling of the total load ‘‘G’’ on the rollers is given by F1 = Gk/R .
where k = rolling friction factor also called coefficient of rolling resistance, mm R = roller radius,mm
Frictional resistance on roller journals is expressed by F2 = (G + wn′) μr/R ...
Where, w = weight of rotating part of each roller. n′ = number of rollers supporting a total load, and
hence in motion. μ = coefficient of friction at the journal. r = journal radius.
Resistance due to sliding of the load on the rollers is given by F3 = {q×(Z0nwv2/gLG)}
9. CALCULATION OF MINIMUM
INCLINATION ANGLE
9
The minimum inclination angle ‘β’ of the gravity conveyor:
Pitch = 50mm
Total length of the conveyor for one frame = 600 mm
Number of rollers necessary = 8
= π/4 × h × (D1 2 -D2 2 )
= π/4 × 25 × (28 -5 ) = 451.375 mm3
Weight of the rotating part of the roller = density of steel × Volume =
=0.0000078 g/mm3 × 451.375mm3
=0.0035 g
tanβ=(2k/D)+[{1+(wn′/G)}×(μd/D)]+{q×(Z0nwv2/gLG)}=
= 0.1604 β
= 9.11° ≈ 9 °
k = rolling friction factor (steel-steel) =
0.0010m = 1.0mm
D = roller diameter = 28mm
w = weight of the rotating part of the roller =
0.007g =0.000007 kg
n′= 3 G = total load = 6kg
μ = coefficient of friction at the journal = 0.5
d = journal diameter = 30mm q = factor of
value between 0.8 to 0.9, because not all the
mass of the roller moving parts is on the
periphery, and thereby not moving with
velocity
v = 1 (assumed)
Z0 = numbers of loads moving simultaneously
on the conveyor = 1 (assumed)
n = number of rollers= 20 v = linear velocity of
the load = 0.2 m/s (assumed)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2
L = total length = 0.6m
10. STRESS ANALYSIS OF STOPPER
10
A stopper is designed and mounted on the handle profile to control and stop the flow of
frames. Annealed steel is used to design the stopper.The stopper is placed on the end of
eack racks so a total of four stoppers is used for the design. The main parts used is a handle
connecter, circlar rod and a fastener. A Solidworks stress analysis is performed to check if
the given material is able to withstand the force of 9.01N exerted by the rolling of
frames.The exerted von misses stress is 9.699e +07 which is under the limit of yield
strength 2.920e +08
