How to use it
- Enter center-to-center product spacing.
- Select its unit and enter required units per minute or hour.
- Calculate the equivalent linear speed.
Conveyor Speed Calculator
Estimate a theoretical linear speed from product spacing and throughput.

About the Conveyor Speed Calculator
This formula tool multiplies regular product spacing by a stated throughput rate.
Formula
Required speed equals normalized product spacing times units per minute.
Example
A 500 mm spacing at 60 units per minute corresponds to 30 m/min, or 0.5 m/s.
Notes
This ideal spacing calculation does not design, size or validate a real conveyor system and excludes acceleration, gaps, slip and controls.
