Embodiment Construction
[0015] Figure 1 illustrates a conveyor 10 embodying features of the present invention that includes a conveyor belt 12, such as a modular roller overhead conveyor belt. The conveyor belt shown is a modular conveyor belt made up of belt modules 14 arranged in a series of rows 16 . The rows are connected together by hinge pins 17 at hinge joints 18 which allow the belt to articulate about drive and tension sprockets 20 on each end of the conveyor. The belt forms an endless loop that moves about a drive shaft 22 and an idler shaft 24 . The shaft is supported at its ends in bearing housings 26 mounted on the conveyor frame (not shown for clarity). A motor 28 is connected to the drive shaft 22 to drive the belt. As the output shaft 30 of the motor rotates as indicated by arrow 32 , the belt advances in a belt travel direction 34 .
