Abstract

See full text

Conveyor actuator assemblies include a gas spring assembly and a base element that at least partially defines a channel extending therethrough. The gas spring assembly extends through the channel. A first end element receives part of the gas spring assembly and a second end element receives another part of the gas spring assembly. A piston element is disposed within the channel and projects outward beyond the base element through an open side to a distal end dimensioned for engaging an associated conveyor belt. The gas spring assembly is inflatable between a first condition in which the piston element is disposed in a first position relative to the base element, and a second condition in which the piston element is disposed in a second position relative to the base element that is different than the first position. Conveyor assemblies, conveying systems and methods of assembly are also included.
