Abstract

Overhead conveyors are used to increase productivity in manufacturing processes and warehouse centers. These are continuous transport devices that operate above or over the head of both workers and other equipment. Their advantage is that they can transfer the load in any direction in space. Steel ropes and chains are used as pulling elements. The pulling element is connected to the trolley where the carriers are attached. The loads from the cargo are transferred via the wheels to the carrier conveyor track. The carrier track is most often connected to the construction of the hall. In this paper, the analysis and calculation of the overhead chain conveyor for the transportation of metal housings was performed.
