Drive Pulley Lagging – The Importance of Proper Technical Analysis and Selection Presented at the 2010 Annual SME Meeting in Phoenix, AZ Paul Ormsbee, Allen V. Reicks P.E. Overland Conveyor Company, Inc. Lakewood, CO ABSTRACT A follow-up paper to “Ceramic Lagging – A Good Thing Can Be Costly if Misused” presented at the 2006 annual meeting. The performance of drive pulley lagging has become much more important in recent years due to higher torque drives, higher conveyor belt speeds, and the use of ceramic lagging. The popularity of ceramic lagging is due to the reduced risk of drive pulley slip and reduction of lagging wear. However, the application of ceramic lagging to a pulley can lead to lagging failure of costly wear to the belt; the most expensive component on the conveyor. Modern analysis and simulation tools and a better understanding of how lagging and belting interact during torque transmission are necessary for a modern conveyor designer to select this relatively inexpensive but important component. Case studies will be presented as well as analysis techniques. INTRODUCTION There are a few basic reasons for the application of lagging to both driven and non-driven pulleys.  Lagging serves as a protective layer guarding the pulley from premature failure due to abrasion.  While protecting the pulley, the lagging can also protect the conveyor belting from a similar sort of wear failure caused by abrasion.  Lagging can also creates an increase in friction between the pulley and the belt which is usually needed when there is a requirement for torque transfer through the pulley to the belt. Lagging is applied to nearly all conveyors to address at least one (if not all) of the basic points above. In addition to performing the points listed above, lagging should be applied in a way that the lagging its
