    The document provides tables with recommended transition distances and numbers/locations of transition idlers for conveyor belt designs. Table 1 gives transition distances for half-troughed conveyors based on trough angle and belt tension. Table 2 provides the same for full-troughed conveyors. Table 3 indicates the number of transition idlers needed at different distances along the transition length based on the total number of idlers used.

    Table 1 indicates the recommended transition distance for half-troughed conveyor applications.
    Table 2 indicates the recommended transition distance for full-troughed conveyor applications.
    Table 3 indicates the number and location transition idlers.

    Table 1 - Transition distance for half-trough depth.

    TROUGH ANGLE (deg.) PERCENTAGE OF RATED TENSION FABRIC BELTS STEEL CABLE BELTS
    MORE THAN 90 0,9w 2,0w

    45 60 to 90 1,6w 3,2w
    LESS THAN 60 1,2w 2,2w

    Note:-
    All conveyors using troughing idlers with angles greater than 20 adjacent to terminal pulleys shall have transition idlers between the given
    terminal pulley and the nearest standard idler.
