What are the maximum speeds that Intralox radius belting can be run?

For acetal belting, the maximum speed is 150 fpm (46 mpm) for sliding-edge belts and 350 fpm (106.6 mpm) for bearing-edge belts. For polypropylene belting, the maximum speed is 120 fpm (37 mpm) for sliding-edge belts.

Why is the minimum radius considered ideal design for a radius belt or conveyor?

The minimum radius is ideal for reducing vibration and “chatter” (noise) and is better for maintaining product orientation.

When and where does it make sense to use edge bearing on a conveyor belt?

Edge bearing is most often used for belt speeds over 150 fpm (46 mpm), as well as high loads or start-stop situations that require consistent friction. Other elements, like wearstrip wear, should also be taken into consideration. Contact Intralox Customer Service to discuss whether edge bearing is suitable for your application.
