Product Description

• Function of the drive drum: to transmit the torque from the drive unit to the conveyor belt. Drive drums are classified into light, medium, and heavy duty types based on their load‑carrying capacity. Each type is available in a variety of shaft diameters and center spans. Drum surfaces may feature smooth steel, diamond‑patterned, or herringbone‑patterned rubber coverings.

• The return idler (tail pulley), also known as the return roller, guides the conveyor belt back to the drive pulley. These tail rollers may feature integral bearings or be mounted in external bearing housings and are typically located at the end of the conveyor frame.

Conveyor rollers are a common type of material-handling equipment, characterized by their simple structure, high reliability, and ease of operation and maintenance. They typically consist of a drive roller, frame, support brackets, and a drive unit. Based on the drive mechanism, roller conveyors can be classified as powered, non-powered, or electric‑driven; according to their layout, they are further categorized into horizontal, inclined, and curved configurations.
The drive drum is the core component of a roller conveyor, serving to support and drive the operation of the conveyor belt. It consists of a steel tube and bearings, typically coated with hot‑dip galvanizing to prevent corrosion. The conveyor belt is the element that transports materials in a roller conveyor, usually manufactured from rubber, nylon, or other materials. Depending on the material properties and the conveying distance, different types and specifications of belts can be selected.

Materials:	Tail pulley drums are typically made of steel—either low-carbon steel or stainless steel—to withstand the wear and tear of continuous operation.
Applications:	Tail pulleys are used in conveyor systems to provide tension to the conveyor belt and ensure proper belt tracking. They are typically installed at the discharge end of the conveyor, opposite the head pulley.
Structure:	The tail pulleys are cylindrical with smooth surfaces, facilitating belt operation. They are typically mounted on shafts and supported by bearings.
Bearing type:	The bearings used in tail pulley drums are typically self-aligning ball bearings or spherical roller bearings, capable of accommodating misalignment and axial loads.
Drum type:	Tail pulleys come in various types, including standard, heavy-duty, spiral, and winged designs. The appropriate type depends on the specific application and the load‑carrying capacity of the conveyor system.
Transport packaging:	Tail pulley drums are typically shipped in wooden crates or on pallets to prevent damage during transit.
Sample:	Some manufacturers may, upon request, provide samples of tail pulley drums to help customers assess their quality and suitability.
Customization:	Tail pulley drums can be customized to suit specific conveyor systems, including dimensions, shaft diameters, and bearing types.
