If you have guardrails on your curve and the package being conveyed is too long, the package may become jammed in the curve if the curve is not wide enough. Even without guard rails, if the package is too long and overhangs the curve, it may contact items outside the curve, causing a jam.

Dynamic tension fluctuation amplitude decreases with increasing, which is consistent with the time response characteristics and indicates that viscous damping increases the belt dissipation capacity. As increases, energy dissipation increases and stability improves.
