SYSTÈME DE MESURE ET PROCÉDÉ DE MESURE DU COEFFICIENT DE FROTTEMENT SUR UNE COURROIE DE TRANSPORTEUR COULISSANTE

摘要

Measurement system (10) for measuring the coefficient of friction on a slidable conveyor belt (N) in a direction of movement (x) and related method, the system comprising: a disk (12), which is placed floating on the conveyor belt (N), and which has a bottom surface (12a), wherefrom projects at least one rounded element (22) that rests on said conveyor belt (N), having such a shape that, regardless of the relative orientation of the disk (12) with respect to the conveyor belt (N), at least one rounded element (22) extends along a direction (d) that is not parallel to the direction of movement (x) of the conveyor belt (N); a pair of abutment elements (14) adapted to maintain the disk (12) fixed with respect to the direction of movement (x) of the conveyor belt (N); and a pair of load cells (16) operatively associated with the abutment elements (14) and with the disk (12), able to measure a thrust force exerted by the disk (12) on each load cell by effect of the relative sliding of the conveyor belt (N) with respect to the disk (12).
