Been on a RC break the last couple months. Change in season and crazy snowfall hasn't helped
Still gathering parts and stuff for a conveyor build I want to do next. thought I would share what I'm thinking for a drive system. The belt tension idea is something I saw Izzy use on one of his conveyors in the past and I think will work great. I'm using 2" wide rubber, 1/8 thick.
Still need to make the drive roller and idler rollers. Planning on 3-4 ft in length.
Flanged bearings and 1/4 D shaft
It's hard to explain or describe the stretch of this rubber? Maximum stretch of a 2ft length was less than 6" stretch. Lots of splice testing to do but I'm positive I can make this stuff work.
