Application Research of a New Overrunning Clutch in Belt Conveyor

Abstract:

In mine high-power belt conveyor, the driven system commonly used multi-motor-driven program. After starting the conveyor, the lower power is needed in normal operating of the conveyor, this appears serious “big horse pulling small car” phenomenon. Therefore, using a new overrunning clutch, when normal operating of belt conveyor is ensured by some motors, you can cut off a group or two groups of gearbox and motor running. This will not only reduce the load of the belt conveyor roller, and reduce energy consumption of gearbox and motor, and also improve the electric system power factor. It means significant energy saving there.
