Development and research of flexible sectional screw conveyor with a ball hinged connections

Abstract

The article presents the design of flexible screw conveyors, working elements are made of sectional ball hinge connections . A power analysis has been performed in the details of a ball hinge connections for flexible shaft of a screw conveyor, through which defined the relationship between power and the mechanical of the elements. The experimental researches of determination of torque dependence on the section of the flexible working element from the angle of twisting of its end surfaces were conducted.
