SUPPORTING ARRANGEMENTS
FLOOR SUPPORTS
Install bolts used to attach the standhead to the
frame so the nut is on the bottom. Standhead bolts
should be left finger tight while the conveyor is being
assembled and aligned.
There are various frame rail depths depending on
options and accessories. Floor supports are ordered
by nominal height range, which is the dimension
from the floor to top of the support. Conveyor
elevations are shown on the layout by top-of-roller
elevations. This difference must be recognized
when setting the support elevations. XenoROL®
conveyor is 4-7/8" from top-of-support to top-of-
rollers with a 4-1/2" deep frame channel.
It is important that conveyor frames be installed
level. Floor supports will accommodate normal
irregularities in the floor surface. Adjustment for
elevation in floor supports is accomplished with
metal-on-metal bolt clamping force. To achieve the
support's stated load rating; it is necessary to tighten
the elevation adjustment bolts (3/8" diameter) to 23
ft.lbs. of torque.
Supports should always be installed in the vertical
position, and any variations due to conveyor pitch or
floor slope will be compensated for in the pivoting
standhead of the support.
90° curve with true taper rollers. A single support leg is
located on the center of the outside channel. Over 18"
width should have full support.
ANCHORING
Anchoring in concrete floors is accomplished by
drilling into the floor and inserting the suitable
anchor bolt. The hole diameter and depth must be
in accordance with the anchor bolt manufacturer's
instructions.
Anchor intermediate floor supports with two anchor
bolts, one through each support foot plate using
minimum 3/8" diameter anchor bolts. For floor
supports over 5' high or when supporting drives, use
1/2" diameter anchor bolts.
Stagger anchors from front hole on one side to rear
hole on opposite side. Anchor bolts for equipment
subject to impact loads should be a minimum of 1/2"
diameter.
CURVE SUPPORT POINTS - The curve illustration
below indicates proper support locations for curves
of various degrees and widths. The dots illustrate
the support connecting point to the conveyor. The
dark line between dots indicates a full support with
welded crossmember or ceiling hanger cross tube.
A single dot on the outside center of the curve
indicates only the outer curve rail is supported with
either a ceiling hanger drop at that point or a single
leg floor support.
If a full width support with welded crossmember is
supplied where only a dot is indicated, use the full
support. The illustration below is minimum
supporting arrangement.
WARNING
Place a bolt through the frame and support
immediately with finger tight nut. This will
prevent the frame from falling off the
support, if bumped, and causing injury.
