Self-centering sets | Highcon

Overview

In challenging operational environments, belts can often shift laterally, leading to misalignment and operational inefficiencies. To counter this, self-centering troughing sets are employed to correct belt tracking and maintain the belt in a central position. These sets consist of a series of rollers arranged in a trough configuration, mounted on a transom that is connected to a slewing ring, allowing limited rotation of 5-8 degrees to accommodate vertical loading. The design also includes a tapered roller bearing to absorb side forces. Ideal for installation on the upper strand, these self-centering sets ensure smooth and consistent belt operation. It is recommended to install them approximately 15 meters from the pulley and at a pitch of 30 meters. Available in three models—S with a rigid arm, F with a pivoting arm and brake, and R with a centralized pivoting arm for reversible belts—these sets are designed to be easily interchangeable with standard transoms.
