Abstract

The article describes the basic parts and the overall design of the laboratory machine, which can be used to measure vibrations generated by a rotating conveyor roller attached to the flattened parts of its axis in the cut-outs of the conveyor idler support. On the structurally modified support of the conveyor idler consisting of the insertion of a plastic element placed between the roller axis and the support cut-out, the vibration acceleration values of the rotating roller from symmetric analysis were measured and compared with the values from asymmetric analysis of the traditional roller axis placement in the steel support. The size of the peripheral speed of the roller was determined, during the experimental measurements, by controlling the speed of the electric motor using a frequency converter. The obtained results of the measured values of vibration velocities in three mutually perpendicular planes showed a reduction in vibration values of about 15% when using plastic holders. The paper aims to present one of the possible technical solutions that can limit the vibration values transmitted to the supporting structure of the conveyor belt, generated by the rotating casing of the conveyor roller.
