Abstract
A belt conveying tension measuring system for measuring applied take-up tension on a belt of a bucket elevator or a belt of a conveyor. The tension measuring system includes a center assembly that is used in combination with a pushing assembly and a horizontal stabilizer assembly such that when a deflection operating assembly is used actuation of the deflection operating assembly causes the pushing assembly to provide deflection to the belt of the conveyor. The pressure to deflect the belt a set amount is measured with and set by a load cell and scale assembly.
Claims9
A belt conveying tension measuring system comprising:
- a center assembly extending from a first end to a second end;
- a tensioning assembly connected to the center assembly at the first end of the center assembly;
- a deflection operating assembly disposed within the second end of the center assembly;
- wherein the tensioning assembly engages a conveyor belt such that when the deflection operating assembly is actuated the tensioning assembly deflects a belt of a conveyor to a set amount.
