PRESENTATION OF PRODUCT. GRAVITY DISPLACEMENT
STORAGE
The R7500 BRAKING ROLLER can be integrated in an assembly of material intended for the
storage and gravity displacement of pallets.
The principle of this type of storage is described by the drawing below:
1- The pallets are arranged in roller corridors inclined towards the LOADING AREA
(pallet 6 on the drawing)
2- If the corridor is empty, the pallet descends the slope and arrives at the limit stop
(position of pallet 9)
3- The next pallets follow the same course and stop against the preceding pallet to form
a waiting line (pallet no. 8 stops against no. 9, no. 7 against no. 8, no.6 against no. 7)
4- To unload a pallet, e.g. no. 4, the limit stop which holds no. 4 is freed by blocking no. 3
pallet, no. 4 moves to the limit stop at the end of the corridor (vertically above no.
10). The pallet can then be removed at the UNLOADING AREA.
This is illustrated by pallet 5.

Principle of gravity displacement storage

The speed of the pallets descending by gravity in the storage corridors, of which the gradient is
3.5%, accelerates naturally during their route. In addition, the weight of the pallets may reach
1200 kg. When the corridor is empty, the first pallet runs throughout the length of the
corridor (may be as much as 10 m) before it reaches a limit stop.
One can easily imagine that allowing such a heavy pallet to take on an uncontrolled speed
constitutes a significant danger for people situated around the storage zone.

FUNCTION of the BRAKING ROLLER R7500
The R7500 roller is a centrifugal brake. It regulates a large range of loads from 50 kg to 1200
kg, at 0.3 m/s maximum on an incline suitable for the load (generally 3.5%) i.e. an incline of 2.
The main function of this mechanism is therefore to regulate the speed, or to stabilize the
speed of the pallet.

EX1110
The roller of the type 7302 is a mechanical system which is positioned in the dynamic storage
corridors. Its aim is to control the gravitational speed of the loads transported. This roller can
be used to slow down loads weighing between 35 kg to 1000 kg.

The EX1100 bench is composed of a section of storage corridor, (1300 mm in length) consisting
of two rails of rollers and equipped with a braking roller.
The inclination of the corridor can be adjusted between 0 and 6 by steps of 1. A pallet which
can be loaded with weights of 1 Kg (5 positions for 10 Kg = 50 Kg), moves in the storage corridor.

Several sensors evaluate the performance of the braking roller during normal functioning:
- a rotation speed sensor for the roller drum;
- a speed sensor for the translation of the pallet;
- an extensometric sensor allows the recording of the normal and tangential load of the
pallet/roller contact
These recordings allow the analysis of the dynamic contact phenomenon between the roller and
the pallet.
A dedicated software controls these acquisitions in real time.


This bench is therefore an ideal and original support for the study of the
dynamic of solids

OBJECTIVES AND SYNTHESIS OF THE PW SHEETS
Objectives
The technological wealth of the support means that this PW series has multiple
objectives:
- characterize the behavior of the linear contact between the braking roller
and the surface of the pallet (sliding, normal and tangential loads,) ;
- carry out dynamic modeling of the fall of the pallet with the aid of the basic
principle of dynamics;
- carry out energy modeling with the aid of the theorem of kinetic energy and
assess the energy of the braking roller system (how the kinetic energy of
the pallet is dissipated) ;
- carry out and analyze the measurements (kinematic and load) with the aid of
an efficient acquisition device and compare them with the results of the model.
