Design and analysis of conveyor chain for automatic ammunition loading machine

An ammunition loading system will have four main parts namely Bin, Rounds, Conveyor and driving motor. In this paper we will explore the scope of new type of loading conveyor that will accommodate twenty four rounds. Conveyor will be designed, considering the space constraints inside the tank and should be suitable for automatic loading and unloading. Design will also support the high rate of rounds being fired reliably. These rounds will consist of four different types of projectiles. The conveyor will be designed using CAD modeling software and same will be analyzed to check and validate the design.
