| The driving pulley is usually designed with a cylindrical-conical
profile. Since the conveyor belt tends to run towards the highest
point of a pulley (placed at a right angle to the running direction
of the belt), the conical sides constantly center the belt towards
the middle of the pulley. |
|
| The cylindrical-conical driving pulley has a self-tracking
effect on the belt. i.e. even with changing out-of-center running
tendencies, the belt will be tracking optimally. |
