May be roller, live roller, belt and gravity conveyors. ALLIGATOR BELT CLIP: Lacing attached to the belt with a hammer for the purposes of joining the ends of the belt together to form a continuous loop. AXLE: A non-rotating shaft on which wheels or rollers are mounted. BALL TABLE: A group of ball transfers over which flat surface objects may be moved in any direction. BALL TRANSFER: A device in which a larger ball is mounted and retained on a hemispherical face of small balls. BED: That part of a conveyor upon which the load rests or slides while being conveyed. BED LENGTH: Length of bed sections only required to make up conveyor excluding pulleys, etc., that may be assembled at ends. BED WIDTH: Refers to the overall width of the bed section. BELT: A flexible band placed around two or more pulleys for the purpose of transmitting motion, power or materials from one point to another. BELT SCRAPER: A blade or brush caused to bear against the moving conveyor belt for the purpose of removing material sticking to the conveyor belt. BELT SPEED: The length of belt, which passes a fixed point within a given time. It is usually expressed in terms of “metres per minute“. BETWEEN FRAME WIDTH: (BF) referred to as the distance between the conveyor frame sides on a belt conveyor, roller bed, live roller or gravity type conveyor. Also referred to as (BF) Between Frame. BOOSTER CONVEYOR: Any type of powered conveyor used to regain elevation lost in gravity roller or wheel conveyor lines. BRAKE MOTOR: A device usually mounted on a motor shaft between motor and reducer with means to engage automatically when the electric current is cut off or fails. 页码，1/9Conveyors2009-11-5file:/C:Documents and Settings61023桌面皮带运输机英文术语解释.htmBRAKE ROLLERS: Air or mechanically operated brakes used underneath roller conveyor to slow down or stop packages being conveyed. Top CASTERS: Wheels mounted in a fork (either rigid or swivel) used to support and make conveyors portable. CEILING HANGERS: Lengths of steel rod, attached to the ceiling, from which conveyors may be supported to provide maximum utilization of floor space or when required height exceeds floor support capability. CENTRE DRIVE: A drive assembly mounted underneath normally near the centre of the conveyor, but may be placed anywhere in the conveyor length. Normally used in reversing or incline application. CHAIN CONVEYOR: Any type of conveyor in which one or more chains act as the conveying element. CHAIN DRIVE: A power transmission device employing a drive chain and sprockets. CHAIN GUARD: A covering or protection for drive or conveyor chains for safety purposes. CHAIN ROLLER CONVEYOR: A conveyor in which the rollers have attached sprockets which are driven by a chain. CHUTE: A trough through which objects are lowered by gravity. Can either be a slider bed or roller/wheel bed. CLEAT: An attachment fastened to the conveying surface to act as a pusher, support, check or trip, etc. to help propel material, parts or packages along the normal path of conveyor travel. CLEATED BELT: A belt having raised sections spaced uniformly to stabilize flow of material on belts operating on inclines. Cleats may be a part of the belt or fastened on. CLUTCH DRIVE: Drive used to disengage motor from reducer without stopping the motor or cutting the power. CLUTCH-BRAKE DRIVE: Drive used to disengage motor from reducer and stop conveyor immediately without stopping the motor or cutting the power. CONSTANT SPEED DRIVE: A drive with no provisions for variable A-B | C | D- E | F- H | I- L | M- O | P | Q- R | S | T | U- Z 页码，2/9Conveyors2009-11-5file:/C:Documents and Settings61023桌面皮带运输机英文术语解释.htmspeed or a drive with the characteristics necessary to maintain a constant speed. CONVERGING: A section of roller or wheel conveyor where two conveyors meet and merge into one conveyor. CONVEYING SURFACE: Normal working surface of the conveyor. CROSS BRACING: Bars placed across the support legs to aid in squaring of the frames. CROWNED PULLEY: A pulley which tapers equally from both ends toward the centre, the diameter being the greatest at the centre. Top DECLINE CONVEYOR: A conveyor transporting down a slope. DEGREE OF INCLINE: Angle of slope in degrees that a conveyor is installed. DISCHARGE END: Location at which objects are removed from the conveyor. DIVERGING: A section of roller or wheel conveying which makes a connection for diverting articles from a main line to a branch. DRIVE: An assembly of the necessary structural, mechanical and electrical parts which provide the motive power for a conveyor. DRIVE PULLEY: A pulley mounted on
