Tensile forces decrease as the diameter increases!
Calculation of tensile force (simplified):
Simplified calculation:
F = (0.02 * LG * (mG + mR) + h * mG) * 9.81 m/s²
LG = Overall length of the belt to be pulled on the conveyor system in m
mG = Weight of the belt per metre (kg/m)
mR = Weight of the idlers per metre (kg/m)
h = Height difference in m
