A conveyor undercarriage refers to the structural support system and mobility components beneath a conveyor system. It includes all the parts that help in supporting, stabilizing, and moving the conveyor. The undercarriage can vary depending on whether the conveyor is fixed, portable, or mobile.
Key Components of a Conveyor Undercarriage:
- Frame or Chassis – Provides the main structural support for the conveyor.
- Wheels or Tracks – Found on mobile conveyors to allow movement across job sites.
- Axles and Bearings – Support wheel movement and provide stability.
- Jack Stands or Supports – Used to level and stabilize the conveyor when stationary.
- Suspension System – In some cases, helps absorb shocks and vibrations.
- Hinges or Pivot Points – Allow for angle adjustments in adjustable conveyors.
The undercarriage plays a crucial role in making the conveyor easy to transport, adjust, and position, especially in industries like mining, construction, and agriculture.
