US 2023/0111930 A1 · SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING INDUSTRIAL BELT TRACKING

Abstract

A device for controlling industrial belt tracking with a first cylindrical pulley segment having a central opening and a plurality of teeth formed on the outside diameter; a second cylindrical pulley segment having a central opening and having a plurality of teeth formed on the outside diameter; and a flange ring. The flange ring being disposed between the first cylindrical pulley segment and the second cylindrical pulley segment such that the flange ring, the first cylindrical pulley segment and the second cylindrical pulley segment are coaxially aligned. Further, the flange ring is shaped and sized such that the outer diameter edge provides a flange perpendicular to the plurality of teeth formed on the outside diameter surface of the first cylindrical pulley segment and the second cylindrical pulley segment and generally radially aligned with the plurality of teeth formed on the outside diameter surface of the first cylindrical pulley segment and the second cylindrical pulley segment.
