Abstract
Equations of motion for a conveyor driven through a spring carrying a load have been derived taking into consideration the friction between the conveyed load and its vibrating table. A quick-return mechanism is used to drive the table of the conveyor through a spring. Effect of v elocity and the time ratio of the driving mechanism, spring stiffness and the damping criterion of the suggested system on the relative moti on of the conveyed load with respect to the table are studied.
