Therefore, the belt tracking facilities should be designed
in such a way as to enable subsequent strains and elongations
to be permanently carried by the tensile member. Taking into consideration Chapter 3.4, this initially means
that under all operating and loading conditions of a
belt conveyor system, belt stress in the midsection
must be kM ≥ 0. Vice versa, the corresponding force
kK in the area of the belt edge, in view of the maximum
allowable tension on the conveyor belt from its type
and rated breaking strength, must exceed the defined
