Belt Flange

The belts can be bent upward. The following three methods are applicable. The flange height and drive roller diameter are specified for them. Care must be taken when there is reverse R.

Spiral and rod bending type

Rod bending type

U- Shaped rod insertion bending type

Allowable inside height against roller diameter

Spiral and rod bending type                                 10%
Rod bending type                                                 14%
U- Shaped rod insertion bending type                  16%

Rod Pitch and roller diameter
  
Generally, the service life of belts is shorter due to bending deformation of belts as the roller diameter is reduced. 
Accordingly, select the roller diameter, referring to the graph shown below.
However, if products are heavy, it is necessary to use the drive roller having a diameter greater than the diameter shown below in the graph
