S-Wrap Rollers

S-Wrap configuration with two rollers

 

Description

Usage

Details

Connections

Parameters

Description

The S-Wrap Rollers component models a pair of pull rollers in an S-Wrap configuration.

Usage

The S-Wrap Rollers component must be between two Span components.

The rollers can be driven with 1-D rotational flanges flangec1 and flangec2.

Details

The S-Wrap Rollers component is constructed from two Roller components and one Span component as shown below.
