![]() A flywheel has been implemented on the second shaft to accommodate for any energy fluctuations and smooth the drive system. The chain attaches to the shafts by two sprockets. The reducing belt then attaches to the second shaft which drives the chain which then drives the conveyor system. The first shaft couples with the motor shaft and is attached to the belt by a pulley. The motor rotates at 1471 revolutions per meter (RPM) this was reduced by a speed ratio of 3.35 by a belt drive and 3.43 by a chain drive. ![]() The design solution that was achieved involved using a four-pole AC squirrel cage induction motor to drive the conveyor. It was designed to accommodate loads from 300kg of luggage being placed on the conveyor in surges 5 seconds apart. A drive system for a conveyor belt was designed for Kingsford-Smith Airport in Sydney. Well designed conveyors make the airport experience better for customers, through rapid and easy transfer of luggage while also helping minimise delays to plane timetables. They are responsible for the transfer of luggage to and from airplanes and customers. ![]() Abstract Conveyors are integral in the successful operation of all airports.
