Thereare three s

28、implified ratings based upon the weightof the bulk solid multiplied by the height of the fall(W h) or rate of flow, Q, and the height of fall h.Various combinations of W h and Q h canproduce the same result but varying the values ofW and h or Q in the design formulas will have aneffect upon the impa

29、ct force calculations. The de-sign of the impact bed/cradle determines the springconstant, k. For these reasons there may be anoverlap of designs for the same ratings amongmanufacturers.The impact force from a falling single lump is sig-nificantly more than that from a homogeneousstream of bulk mate

30、rial so in most applications theweight of the largest lump that can be expected isthe critical variable. Table 1 gives the force ratingranges for Impact Beds/Cradles. Since most userswill not have the value k readily available, valuesof W h are given in Table 1 for reference only.1Contact a CEMA mem

34、act Beds/CradlesImpact Beds/Cradles are placed in load zone inthe area of direct impact from the falling lumps orstream of material. The Impact Bed/Cradle shouldbepositioned so the impact is striking the impact barsor pads at the center. The belt must be fullytransitioned with properly fitted metal

35、transitionidlers before the entry into the Impact Bed/Cradle.A suitable idler which is dimensionally compatiblemay be used as the inbound idler just precedingthe first Impact Bed/Cradle. When the impact areais long or there are multiple load points intermedi-ate idlers which are dimensionally compat

All of the idlers in the load zone mustbe from the same manufacturer, have the sametrough angle, be of the same CEMA class and bein good working condition or the Impact Bed/Cradlewill not fit or function properly

38、. Contact a CEMAmember if your load zone is not fitted with idlers allfrom the same manufacturer, of the same troughangle or all of the same CEMA class.

41、(5/8”+3/8”)2) Determine the duty ratingThe duty rating of a CEMA Impact Bed/Cradle isdetermined by the maximum impact force that willbe created by the falling lump or stream of mate-rial. A simplified formula of the weight of the largestlump, W, or the rate of flow, Q, of the material andthe vertica

42、l height of fall, h, is used to determinethe rating. Calculate both quantities and select thelarger of the two values for determining theappropriate duty rating.Material containing large lumpsDetermine the maximum lump size that will be con-veyed. Calculate the weight, W (lbs.), of the lump.If slabs

43、 of material are likely to pass through thesystem use the maximum size slab to determinethe maximum lump weight. Determine the maxi-mum vertical fall distance, h (ft). The impact force,F, is given by equation #1. Equation #1 F(lbs) =W + square root (2 k W h) (see figure 3).Consult Table 1 to determi

44、ne the appropriate dutyrating.Homogeneous stream of material withoutlarge lumpsDetermine the maximum vertical fall distance h (ft).Determine the design rate of flow, Q (short tonsper hr.), of conveyed material. The impact force, F,is given by equation #2. Equation #2 F (lbf) = .1389 Q square root(h)

45、 (see figure 4).Consult Table 1 to determine the required dutyrating.Power requirementsImpact Beds/Cradles can have a significant effecton the power requirements of a conveyor particu-larly for short conveyors. It is advisable to calculatethe theoretical horsepower requirements for an Im-pact Bed/Cr

46、adle and check the availablehorsepower of the drive.The horsepower requirement is determined by theformulas:Te(IB) = L (Wm + Wb) fTe(TI) = L Kx + (Ky Wb) + (L Ky Wm)HP Increase = (Te (IB) - Te (TI) x V 33,000Typical materials used for the surface in contactwith the belt on Impact Beds/Cradles are UH
