AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the placement of rollers and motors in the U-shaped section of curved conveyor belts used in airports. Proper angling of the rollers is essential to ensure they roll in the direction of motion, which helps maintain traction and keeps luggage in place. Participants are seeking links or images for better understanding. The importance of roller alignment in corner sections of conveyors is emphasized for effective operation. Visual resources are requested to aid in comprehending this engineering aspect.

does anyone know how the rollers and motors are place in the U-shaped part of a curved conveyor belt used in airports??
any links or pics would be appreciated ??
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
the curved part is so there is enough traction "contact" made with the luggage. or just helps keep it in place.
 
do u have any links or pics related to this stuff ??
 
Wait, are you talking about when conveyors go around corners? That's simply a matter of angling the rollers so they always roll in the direction of motion.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
