Roller Tracker Corrects
Conveyor Belt Drift
The Martin Roller Tracker, a return belt
tracking system from Martin Engineering,
automatically corrects when the belt
wanders off center. The ribbed polyurethane
roller tracker does not contact the
belt edge, eliminating fraying and facilitating
tracking for single-direction or reversing
belts.
The 190-mm-diameter tracker reacts
quickly to fluctuations in the belt path.
Built on a central pivot attached to vibration-
free mandrel, the unit is lifted 5 mm
under the belt to retain a tight grip. When
the belt drifts off-center, the assembly
tilts to the opposing side and steers it
back to the normal position. By retaining
a consistent path on the return side, the
belt passes over the tail pulley and enters
the loading zone centered.
