Steel Belt and Tracking: 3. V-guide

V-guide or V-rope is another method for tracking. When driving pulley axis and driven pulley axis are set in parallel and V-guide is forwarded straight, a belt does not wind.

V-guide is made of rubber. Chloroprene(CR) and silicon rubber are standard material. Nitrile rubber (NBR) can be an option.

Steel Belt and Tracking: 2. Crown pulley

Crown pulley is the most popular tracking method for steel belts. For example, when pulley diameter is 100mmand belt size is thickness 0.2mm and width 200mm, curvature radius is R50,000.

This is same as crown height 0.1mm.It is significantly minute compared with millimeter-order crown height for plastic and rubber belts.

Yet crown pulley sometimes does not work, when belts are very thick, very wide, very long, or due to other factors such as conveyor structure and assembly precision.

Steel Belt and Tracking: 1. Crown pulley and Flange pulley

Due consideration should be paid to tracking in choice of belts. When a belt does not move straight in running direction, it may come off pulleys and rotation halts. When we talk about endless belts without perforation, very popular tracking method is ‘crown pulley.’ We do not recommend flange pulleys. It is true that when belt width is just around 10 to 20mm, tracking is done by flange pulleys. But in general belt width edges are damaged by flanges.
