the assembly of the necessary structural and mechanical parts which provides the means to adjust the length of belts, cables, chains, etc. to compensate for stretch, shrinkage, or wear and to maintain proper tension.
Device used to apply tension to the conveyor belt.
The amount of warp length ‘lost’ during weaving. The warp, instead of going in a straight line, actually curves over and under the weft, and therefore extra warp yarn is required to allow for this take-up in every woven project.
The change in length of a filament, yarn, or cord caused by twisting, expressed as a percentage of the original (untwisted) length.
The difference in distance between two points in a yarn as it lies in a fabric and the same two points after the yarn has been removed from the fabric and straightened under specified tension, expressed as a percentage of the straightened length.
The area of the system where variations in belt length are accommodated or "taken up".
The amount of fabric gathered in a seam over a given length of seam. Normally expressed as a percentage. Over a longer bag this take-up can cause bowing of the bag.
The assembly of the necessary structural and mechanical parts which provide the means to adjust the length of belt and chain to compensate for stretch, shrinkage or wear and to maintain proper tension.
