Abstract
A belt conveyor has at least one drum. The drum has a drum axle and a drum body with a drum shell and drum bases. The drum axle is mounted on the two sides by way of two bearings. A force measuring device and/or an accelerometer are arranged on the drum axle on the two sides. The sensors which are arranged on the two sides are preferably arranged between the drum body and the bearing outside the drum body. The sensor signals can be transmitted wirelessly by way of a telecommunications device which is assigned to the sensors.
