| GATE:
A section of conveyor equipped with a hinge mechanism to provide
an opening for a walkway, etc., manual or spring-loaded. |
| GEARMOTOR:
A unit which creates mechanical energy from electrical energy
and which transmits mechanical energy through the gearbox at
a reduced speed. |
| GRAVITY
BRACKET: Brackets designed to permit gravity
conveyors to be attached to the ends of a powered conveyor. |
| GRAVITY
CONVEYOR: Roller or wheel conveyor over which
objects are advanced manually by gravity. |
| GRIP
FACE BELTING : A textures pattern on the top
surface of a belt |
| GUARD
RAIL: Members paralleling the path of a conveyor
and limiting the objects or carriers to movement in a defined
path. |

| INCLINE
CONVEYOR LENGTH: Determined by the elevation
change from infeed to discharge versus the degree of incline. |
| INCLINED
CONVEYOR: A conveyor transporting up a slope. |
| INFEED
END: The end of a conveyor nearest the loading
point. |

| LAGGING:
A material applied to the outer surface of pulleys or rollers. |
| LIMIT SWITCH:
Electrical device used to sense product location. |
| LIVE
ROLLER CONVEYOR: A series of rollers over which
objects are moved by the application of power to all or some
of the rollers. The power-transmitting medium is usually belting
or chain. |
