Drive and tail pulleys are an essential part of conveyors and play an important role in efficient and reliable conveyance of materials and goods. These drums are mainly installed at the beginning and end of a conveyor belt and essentially consist of three components: the side parts, the tube and the axle. Internally mounted tail pulleys (UTI) do not require additional bearings to function properly as these are integrated. In contrast, welded drums (AT and UT) or drums with clamping set (ATSP and UTSP) are installed and operated with pillow block bearings.
The FMG Förderelemente Mecklenburg GmbH from Körchow offers drive and idler pulleys standard in diameters from 150 to 320mm that have been specially developed for the needs of different conveying applications. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a wide range of drive and tail pulleys to provide our customers with tailored solutions that best meet their individual requirements.

FMG: We have the solution for you
With our drive and idler pulleys, we offer you the perfect solution if you are looking for high-quality spare parts for your conveyor system. With our drums, your conveyor belts can be driven or deflected efficiently, which leads to smooth operation of the systems.
The drive drums are included external motors operated and are designed to run through spherical overturning of the drum body ensure perfect belt centering during the run. This increases the efficiency of the system and reduces downtime.
Our drive and tail pulleys are not only robust, reliable and durable, but also available in different sizes and designsto meet the specific needs of our customers. In addition, they will high quality materials Manufactured and designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use. The greatest care is taken with the quality of our drums, so that our customers can rely on long-term, reliable and efficient operation.
How can drive and tail pulleys be coated and why are there smooth and rough surface coatings?
Drive and tail pulleys are critical components in a conveyor system and have a direct impact on the system's performance and efficiency. In order to ensure the best possible entrainment of the conveyed goods, it is therefore of great importance that the surface coatings of the drive and tail pulleys are carefully selected.
There are different ways to coat drive and tail pulleys. As with most idlers, the drums can lpainted, galvanized or with sheet rubber or Baytec coated .
A common method for surface coating of drive and tail pulleys is painting, which is applied as a protective layer to prevent moisture or corrosion. In addition, the process of galvanizing to increase the corrosion resistance of the drums and thus contributes to extending their service life.
How can a drum be overwound?
A drum can either cylindrical or crowned (conical) overturned. Deciding between the two options depends on the specific deployment. overspeed means that the drum is further machined after the manufacturing process to adapt it to the specific needs of the conveyor system. This can mean, for example, improved concentricity or greater stability.
From a wall thickness of 5 mm, our drive and idler pulleys are overwound for better concentricity. Over-tightening will flatten the surface of the drum more precisely matched to the specifications of your conveyor system. It not only improves the quality and performance of our drums, but also extends their lifespan.
How does a larger diameter of the drive drum affect the conveying speed?
a bigger one Drive drum diameter has a direct influence on the conveyor speed of a system. The belt speed depends on the peripheral speed of the drum, which increases with a drive drum with a larger diameter. A higher peripheral speed in turn leads to a higher belt speed, so that a higher conveying speed can be achieved in a system with larger drums.
The speed of the drive drum is another factor affecting belt speed. Higher RPM results in higher belt speed, while lower RPM results in slower belt speed. However, it should be noted that a belt speed that is too high or too low has an impact on the material flow. Therefore, it is of great importance to determine the optimal belt speed for your specific application to ensure the best possible performance. Our experts at the FMG Förderelemente GmbH from Körchow will be happy to advise you on the selection of the right drive and idler pulley for your conveyor system.
