Hello All,

Does anyone have any specifications on what the correct taper should be on conveyor pulleys in order to help in tracking the belt? I usually use a fabric type belt about .100 thick. My conveyors have various widths and lengths.

Wayne,
This depends on the fabric or material to be used. I would contact the manufacturer of the belt material and ask them. This is because you want enough rise on the center to keep the belt centered but not enough to cause slack at the edges.

..and please let us know the answer here on the forum.
