Cover bands are a rather seldom deployed conveying technology having nevertheless a lot of potential for industrial applications. Especially for the vertical transportation, for the handling of a large article range, or for the achievement of a highly dynamic goods behavior cover bands own distinct advantages compared to classical means of transportation. However, the adjustment of belt tensioning forces is a highly crucial element that has not yet been studied in depth. This paper introduces two models (geometric and physical) and a simulation based upon these for the determination of system inherent forces and for finding design parameters.
