Maintenance 53
Replacing Conveyor Components
NOTE:
Use steps in this section for replacing drive belt, conveyor
motor, or drive or idler rollers. Use steps in previous section
to replace conveyor belt.
1. Disconnect electrical power.
2. To replace the conveyor end rollers or shafts, idler rollers or shafts, drive shaft or
sprocket, it is necessary to loosen the belt tension and open the belt. (See
instructions in the previous section.) For ease of assembly and reassembly, try
not to remove the conveyor belt completely from the conveyor frame. Open the
conveyor belt only enough to expose parts that need to be replaced.
Replacing Conveyor End Roller
There are two rollers with one shaft that extend through the rollers at each end of the
conveyor.
Remove the conveyor belt. (See instructions on page 51, earlier in this chapter.)
1. There are two (2) set screws on the end of the conveyor frame and one in the
center that secure the conveyor shaft. Loosen these three set screws.
2. Slide the end shaft out of the side of the conveyor and remove the roller.
CAUTION:
There are shims on each side of the roller. Note which shim
is in each location (to refer to for reassembly) and do not
lose these shims. The shims come off with the shaft and
need to be reinstalled when reassembling the end roller.
3. Replace worn or damaged parts and reassemble in reverse order of disassembly.
Replacing Drive Shaft, Drive Sprockets, or Conveyor Motor
1. With the power off, open the conveyor belt as much as necessary to expose the
drive (exit end) components of the conveyor. (See instructions on page 51,
earlier in this chapter.)
2. Remove the chain guards from each side of the conveyor.
3. Loosen the three (3) ¼-20 motor mount bolts and slide the motor forward to
remove the chain.
