Acceleration and deceleration controls limit the forces (shock) that are applied to accelerate or decelerate a load. Under certain conditions, the addition of an acceleration / deceleration device will help improve the life expectancy of critical parts on any type of conveyor, including Portec equipment.
The majority of applications for Portec equipment do not require acceleration / deceleration devices.
