A connecting element (16) for the struts (4) comprises at least two fastening devices (26), which are designed such that it is possible to fasten the struts (4) in a common axis and/or in axes that are oriented perpendicularly to one another. Of the fastening devices (26) lying opposite one another, one comprises a stepped bore (28), which has a first stepped bore portion (30) for at least partially receiving a screw head (40) of a fastening screw (38) and a second stepped bore portion (32) for at least partially receiving a bolt portion (42) of a fastening screw (38) for fastening in a threaded bore (22) of one of the struts (4), and the other comprises a threaded bore (34) for fastening a threaded pin (24) of one of the struts (4), which threaded bore is connected to the stepped bore (28).
B65G 21/06 - Supporting or protective framework or housings for endless load-carriers or traction elements of belt or chain conveyors consisting essentially of struts, ties, or like structural elements constructed to facilitate rapid assembly or dismantling
The invention relates to a conveyor roller for conveyor systems for conveying containers, pallets, piece goods, and the like. The invention further relates to a method for producing and balancing, in particular dynamic balancing, such a conveyor roller. The conveyor roller comprises a roller body having a roller axle, the outside circumferential surface thereof being a contact surface for conveyed goods or being wrapped about by conveyed goods, and a head element (100), an insertion section (110) thereof being inserted into a hollow end of the roller body, wherein a groove (200) is formed on an end face (120) of the head element (100) facing away from the insertion section (110), in order to receive at least one balancing weight (301-304).
The invention relates to a conveyor arrangement (1) for conveying a conveyed material, comprising a motor-driven conveyor roller (100), comprising a roller body (10) mounted so as to be able to rotate about a roller axis (A), a drive unit (20) arranged inside the roller body (10), coupled mechanically to the roller body (10) and an axle element (16) and designed to generate a torque between the axle element (16) and the roller body (10), a sensor function unit (40) arranged inside the roller body (10) and designed to sense a conveyed material to be conveyed by the motor-driven conveyor roller (100), and a control unit (30) that is connected to the sensor function unit (40) in order to transmit signals, wherein the control unit (30) is designed to receive a sensor signal from the sensor function unit and to transmit a control signal to the drive unit (20) depending on the sensor signal, wherein the control signal contains data for driving the motor-driven conveyor roller, in a conveyor mode, with a characteristic profile that is predefined by the control signal.
B65G 23/08 - Drums, rollers, or wheels with self-contained driving mechanisms, e.g. motors and associated gearing
G05B 19/042 - Programme control other than numerical control, i.e. in sequence controllers or logic controllers using digital processors
G05B 19/418 - Total factory control, i.e. centrally controlling a plurality of machines, e.g. direct or distributed numerical control [DNC], flexible manufacturing systems [FMS], integrated manufacturing systems [IMS] or computer integrated manufacturing [CIM]
