Routine Maintenance 

 

Roller Care 

 

1.

 

Check chain tension to be certain the slack span 
has an approximate 2% mid-span movement 

 

a)

 

If the chain is too tight or vise-versa, adjust 
the links to adjust the slack. 

 

Note:

  Excess loads may cause increased lacing and belt  

            wear as well as reducing overall belt life. 
 
 

Motors 

 

1.

 

Cleaning - All motors should be kept free of dirt 
and grease accumulations. Open motors should 
be  periodically  vacuumed  to  remove  dust  and 
dirt from the windings. 
 

2.

 

Ventilation - For best results motors should be 
operated in an area where adequate ventilation 
is available. 
 

3.

 

Temperature  -  Most  of  the  current  smooth 
body, T.E.N.V. and T.E.F.C. motors run hot to the 
touch.  As  long  as  maximum  ambient 
temperatures  are  not  exceeded  and  the 
amperage  draw  is  within  the  allowable  range 
there should not be a problem. 

 

Note: 

 The temperature and amperage limits can be  

            found on the motor name plate.

 

4.

 

Lubrication  -  Most  electric  motors  are 
lubricated for life and under normal operating 
conditions  require  no  more  lubrication.  Under 
severe conditions where additional lubrication 
is  required  use  the  following  chart  as  a  guide.  
See Fig. 1

Shell Oil Co. - Alvania #2, 

Mobil Oil Co. - Mobilux 

Dolium R 

Grease #2 

Texaco Inc. - Premium RB  Sinclair Refining Co. - AF #2 

 

Fig. 1 

 

Note:

  The  chart  above  is  based  on  motors  with 

grease lubricated bearings, running at speeds 
of 1750 RPM or less and operating within an 
ambient  temperature  range  of  between  0°F 
to 120°F (-18°C to 49°C). 

 

Gear Reducers 
 

1.

 

Ventilation  -  During  normal  operation  gear 
reducers build up heat and pressure and must 
be vented to protect the seals and gears.

 

 

2.

 

Cleaning  -  After  approximately  two  to  three 
weeks  of  operation  the  reducer  must  be 
drained, flushed out and refilled to the correct 
level with fresh oil. This is done to remove any 
brass particles created during the normal wear-
in period of the worm gear. From then on the oil 
should  be  changed  every  2500  hours  of

 

operation or every 6 months, whichever comes 
first.
