Assembling the modular chain belt
Observe the following during assembly:
▪
Select the chain length so that the contraction of the chain ends is done with little effort.
ǃ
With a tight chain, rattling will be heard at the drive station.
1. Check the run using a short piece of the chain.
2. Remove any clamping points and rework seams if
necessary.
3. Insert the chain centrally into the deflection and
push/pull until the chain has been completely pulled
through the conveyor.
4. To ensure that the sprockets engage exactly with
the chain, mount the sprockets in the same position
as the recesses in the chain.
5. Join the chain ends together.
6. Insert the connecting rod (1) (locking bead last) and
knock it in carefully.
