The subject of analysis in this paper are rope based mechanisms for the movement of the telescopic conveyors substructure. Experimental test of ropes in conjunction with pulleys on 2 telescopic conveyors were performed in order to assess the real cause of damage and cracking of ropes in a full sense, which occurred in the real application of the conveyor at the site. These are examples of two conveyors with the same characteristics on which combinations of ropes with characteristics of construction of cross section 7x19 and construction of cross section 19x7 are placed, as well as combinations of pulleys with two kinds of grooves. Some specific tests are performed that showed the best combination of construction driving system elements.
