Sizing inputs

InputReasonExample
Load per meterDrive torque45 kg per meter
SpeedThroughput20 m per min
Belt widthProduct stability800 mm

Layout guidance

  1. 1Confirm product dimensions and center of gravity.
  2. 2Define transfer points and height changes.
  3. 3Select belt material for environment and grip.
  4. 4Plan maintenance access and guarding.

RFQ checklist

  • Line length and width
  • Load per meter and throughput
  • Speed range and duty cycle
  • Incline or decline angles
  • Belt material and surface finish
