Load
_______________________________________
• Scroller Mechanics has a self-aligning, self-supporting geometry
that offers ideal load distribution - with no backlash,
unlike the point load capacity of conventional gear/rolling mechanics.
Distribution
• Loads spread evenly along the rollers due to:
•high contact between rollers and belts
•stable tug points along the belt row
See: Geometry ....
Grip
• The no-slip grip of the Scroller's geometry
can easily handle abnormally high forces and torques.
Radial (around the rollers)
• Torque in the direction of rotation
can be absorbed through traction and tensioning.
Axial (along the row)
• The inherently stable geometry of the Scroller can be enhanced
if side loads are high, to avoid side-slip ....
• dents
• grooves
• teeth
• bumps
• magnetic centering
• centering patterns
• etc ....
