TEST BENCH TO ANALYSE PARAMETRES OF TWO-RUN BELT-CABLE CONVEYOR Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B65G15/00 B65G17/02 G01M15/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: test bench consists of the main drum mounted on the frame with steel various-diametre cables wound thereon. Said cables fitted in the grooves of said main drum that feature depth smaller than cable thickness measured along drum radius. One end of square-section cable or two round-section cables are interconnected via tension metre and compression spring with the frame. Other ends of the cable envelope additional drum and deflecting devices and are suspended on suspension accommodating changeable weights. Additional drum is arranged under the main one on bell crank articulated to the frame and provided with adjustable counterweight mounted on opposite end to allow pressing additional drum to the main one. Endless conveyor belt loop is arranged in vertical plane on return drums. Two return drums are arranged on both sides of the main drum to make conveyor belt interact with the main drum.
