The sag will Vary inversely with the tension in the belt. Since the tension varies along the length of the belt the spacing can be graduated, being smallest at the zone of low tension and increasing as the belt tension increases. Savings can thus be effected on both the carrying and return runs. The spacing at any point can be obtained from the formula: BxT xs Idler spacing = —8XTXSO ay » (9.26 s98099 Fe (9.81x103) (928) where Me Mass of belt and lve ioad exoressed in kilograms per metre T Tension atthe point being investigated (kN). sa ‘A percentage ofthe idler spacing expressed asa decimal and usually 0.02 (2%). Live oad = <5 (ko/m) (3.27) 36s : “ where 5. = Balt speed (m/s) C= Capacity (t/n) The figures given in Table 6 of this secticn will givea quick check. When the convayor is ona uniform gradient the graduated idler spacings in Table 6 of this section will be of assistance in determining a graduated system. NOTE: Care should be taken to check belt tensions under all possible load conditions before installing Idlers at graduated spacings. Idlers instalied at spacings determined by maximum load tension calculations could cause operating problems through excess belt sag under lightly loaded conditions.

These figures are therefore conservative when applied to a troughed belt because of the added resistance to sag resulting from the beam effect of the troughing.
