Abstract: “The paper deals with maintaining traction factor value of belt conveyor with two-engine drive. The system which maintains traction factor value by changing the weight of tensioning device of belt conveyor has been developed for this task. The results of computer modeling in SIMULINK were transient in velocity of concentrated masses of belt, moving the tensioning device and dynamics of traction factor in the implementation of the control of carriage provisions of tensioning device.”

Keywords: belt conveyor, simulation, automatic control system of the speed of conveyor belt, traction factor and transients
