Study on Belt Skew. 2nd Report. Effects of Parameters and Skew Mechanism.

Shigeo YANABE, Hui Cheng, Izumi NOZAWA

Abstract

Following the previous report, the skew of flat belt running between angular misaligned cylindrical rollers is investigated by experiments and FEM simulatiton. Both effects of parameters on the skew and the configuration of the belt between/on the rollers are clarified. The results show that the skew rate decreases with increase in the belt width or with decrease in the roller diameter and coefficient to friction. The skew can be considered to occur when the belt winding spirally around the roller moves together with the rotating roller.
