2. If you are installing a new belt, you are finished splicing.
Step 4
– Check Drive Shaft Sprocket Alignment
Check to ensure 3/16-inch clearance between all sprockets (and/or blanks) and
the Z-bends next to them.
Check alignment of sprocket teeth with a straight-edge. (Only necessary if the
sprockets are not keyed to the drive shaft.)
Step 5
– Check Entire Belt Circuit
Z-bends should not come into contact with any conveyor component (including
end rolls, wear strips, transfer support rails, nose bars, etc.)
Adjust as needed.
Step 6
– Adjust Tension
The wire belt used is a low-tension belt. Use minimal tension
— only enough so
the sprockets properly engage the belt.
Run the conveyor and check to make sure it runs smoothly.
Note:
Too much tension will cause premature belt failure.
