Gravity take-up

Automatic tensioning system using a suspended counterweight on a movable carriage to maintain constant belt tension regardless of load and temperature variations. Ideal for long conveyors (>100 m). Self-adjusts without human intervention as the belt elongates dynamically. Counterweight mass is calculated based on the minimum required slack-side tension (T2) to prevent drive pulley slippage, following CEMA calculation procedures.
