roller conveyor calculations? - Commercial product ...
The additional force from the product is a simple equation based on the material in contact with the rollers. The formulae is simply F=uW where u is the rolling friction and W is the weight of the product in pounds. For u us the following for steel conveyor rollers. Metal u = 0.01 to 0.02 Plastic u = 0.02 to 0.04 Wood u = 0.02 to 0.05
