The roller conveyor system with gravity
drive (RBS) is typically used in industrial
applications for semi-automatic interlinking
at picking stations,
on buffering
tracks, in interim storage or in assembly
lines. Products can be transported along
a downward gradient either by hand or
using gravitational force. The sturdier
mk 2255 profile makes the RBS-P 2255
gravity roller conveyor suitable for heavier
loads than the RBS-P 2065/66 system.
The gravity roller conveyor is available in
both straight and curved configurations
and can be combined with driven roller
conveyors (RBT and RBM). All roller conveyors
are built from the mk 2255 roller
conveyor profile, which includes longitudinal
slots in the profile beams for attaching
side rails, stands, initiators and other
accessories.
Products can be transported along a downward
gradient either by hand or using
gravitational force. A slope of 1 to 2° is
usually sufficient for conveying products
with gravitational force. Please note that
high speeds can be reached with long
lines and/or steeper slopes. This kinetic
energy will require dampened deceleration.
