Hängefördersystem mit Funktionskomponenten aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen – Aufbau und Dauerlauftest

Abstract

The core segment of the contribution is an overhead conveyor system for the low load range. The overhead conveyor system with the functional components made from renewable raw materials represents a substitution variant for the aluminum construction. A functional prototype was developed with a combined load-bearing and sliding element made of wood polymer composite and a switch in a mixed construction made of steel, WPC and wood veneer composite (WVC, plywood). set up, equipped with displacement and force sensors and tested for functionality in an endurance test over 416 days. The test determined the time-varying bending deformation of the WPC profile, the loss of preload force in the screw connections and the wear with regard to the functionality of the overall system. With the endurance test, the functionality could be proven in practice.
