ABSTRACT:
An improved braked pulley assembly for an endless conveyor including a pulley body, a pair of gearboxes, and a pair of hydraulic braking members. The gearboxes have bodies affixed to relatively opposite ends of the pulley body and rotate with the pulley body. The hydraulic braking members are laterally adjacent the pulley body and include an output shaft which is mechanically coupled to an input shaft of an associated gearbox. Actuation of the braking members transfers braking forces to the gearbox inputs and to the pulley body to permit controlled slowing of the pulley body rotational speed and, hence, a conveyor mounted thereon. The braked pulley assembly is specially adapted for use in conveyor assemblies which have limited available area for braking mechanisms, and which will not accommodate conventional disc brake/caliper assemblies.
