DESIGN AND WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION OF GRAVITY ROLLER CONVEYOR
Keywords:
Material., Factor of safety, , Structural strengthAbstract
This paper is about design and analysis of gravity roller conveyor for weight optimization without hampering its structural strength. Gravity roller conveyor or non-powered roller conveyor are the most economical and common method of conveying unit loads. The conveyor is typically mounted on a slight decline angle, therefore using gravity with initial manual push to assist product movement, especially for long distances. Gravity roller conveyor consists of components like roller, shaft, bearings, c-channel for chassis and supports. In this work each component is designed analytically and total weight of conveyor is determined by adding weight of various components of gravity roller conveyor.
