Zusammenfassung:This paper introduces new modeling software - AMESim - to a belt conveyor. Based on AMESim, the performance simulation on belt velocity, acceleration, tension and movement of gravity take-up of one belt conveyor in starting process is carried out. The simulation illustrates the belt does not slide on the drive pulley and its safety factor is enough at any cases. The conveyor performance changes greatly with an addition of flywheel to motors. The peak of belt acceleration and velocity deduces respectively by 50% and by 20% with an addition of flywheel inertial to 5 times as large as that of a motor.
