Many users' understanding of the structure of an electric drum mainly lies in its main components, such as end caps, front and rear shafts, bearings, bearings, sealing rings, and casings. In fact, there is another important protective layer that has been overlooked, which is its cladding.
The coating of the drum refers to the non-metallic anti slip protective layer applied to the cylinder through chemical or mechanical methods. This type of coating is generally non removable, only special ones can be removed and replaced.
In the case where the drum is used as the driving device, the drum cover layer is used to increase the friction coefficient μ between the conveyor belt and the surface of the drum during transmission, in order to reduce the slip and mutual friction of the conveyor belt on the surface of the drum, improve the traction force for stable operation, extend the service life of the conveyor belt and electric drum, and even create conditions for the use of thin-walled drum skin. When only micro rollers are used as electric rollers on roller conveyors or as electric idlers on large belt conveyors, the coating layer is mainly used to reduce noise and extend the service life of the rollers.
Electric drum cladding can only be used for special needs, and generally few customers choose to install it. However, as an important component of the device, users should have some understanding even if there is no need for forced installation.
