Pulse-roller-title-specify-rollers

The Pulse Roller specification tool is applicable only to basic converanyce applications.
For special applications such as right angle transfers, belf conveyors, lift systems, pallet
handling or multiple motorized-driven rollers per zone please contact Insight Automation

Specification Data

We will assume a few default settings for you application, or you can refine these assumptions Pulse-roller-pref-arrow-down

Uncheck any assumptions that do not correctly reflect your application.

Conveyance surface is horizontal or maximum of 5 degree decline.
Deviation would occur in the event of incline conveyance.

Roller centers are less than or equal to 4 in.
Roller center is measured from the center of point of one roller shaft to the center point of the next. Deviation from standard would imply that centers are greater than 4”.

Idler to motorized-driven roller ration is less than or equal to 9:1.
Ratio identifying the number of idlers that are connected to a single motor-driven roller. Deviation from standard would imply a ratio great than 9:1.

O-rings are being used and diameter of o-ring is less than or equal to 3/16 in.
Deviation would occur if diameter of o-ring is greater than 3/16” or if an alternative belt type is used; flat belts, v-belts, timing belts, etc..

Idler bearing quality is precision.
Deviation would occur if a lesser quality bearing is used.

No or minimal friction between conveyor side frame and item being conveyed.
Deviation would occur if items being conveyed are allowed to come in contact with conveyor frame.

Bottom surface of item being conveyed is flat.
Deviation would occur if bottom surface of container does not allow for 100% surface contact with motor-driven roller.


Maximum weight of item being conveyed:
lbs
What does this mean?
Maximum weight should reflect the weight of the item being conveyed and also include the weight of any tote, pallet, sled, etc. Weight of an item being conveyed is a primary factor in calculating the application torque requirement and corresponding product recommendations. Under estimation of total weight could result in the inability to move the load, increased starting and operating amperage and pre-mature product failure.
Material of item being conveyed:
What does this mean?
Should reflect the material that is in direct contact with the motorized-driven roller. Specification tool assumes use of a standard motorized-driven roller with no covering.
Base diameter of motorized-driven roller:
in
What does this mean?
For the purpose of this calculation we are using the base diameter of the roller (not including any coverings that may be used).
Conveyance speeds:
Minimum
ft/min
Nominal
ft/min
Maximum
ft/min

If only a single conveyance speed is required enter speed as nominal.
