Roller for laterally guiding a log onto a longitudinal conveyer

摘要

The invention relates to a take-up roller (7) and roller assembly for a log conveyor, wherein the take-up roller (7) is mounted on a first end (19) of an arm (18) and a second end (20) of the arm (18) is attached to a frame (6) of a log conveyor (4) or the like rigid structure, and that the attachment of the second end (20) of said arm (18) to the log conveyor's (4) frame (6) or the like rigid structure is articulated and a distance of the take-up roller (7) from a median plane (13) of the log conveyor (4) is determined by the position of a hydraulic cylinder (14), said hydraulic cylinder (14) being secured by its first end to the log conveyor's (4) frame (6) or the like rigid structure and by its second end to an elastic element (21), said elastic element (21) being attached to the arm (18) of the take-up roller or to an extension of the arm.
