Shim the MWL
When the MWL is used with the MUS, MBS, or MCS belt scale, due to the wide variety of idler
types and sizes, it may be necessary to shim the MWL for proper operation.
Note
These tables are provided as a guideline only: shimming is often not required.
Angle spine idler
Angle size
2" (50 mm)
2-1/2" (60 mm)
3 " (75 mm)
3-1/2" (90 mm)
4" (100 mm)
Channel spine idler
Channel size
3" (75 mm)
4" (100 mm)
5" (125 mm)
6" (150 mm)
1. Compare your idler spine to the spine type and size in the tables above, for a guide to the
size of shims you may require.
2. Select shims that will allow you to adjust the MWL crank bodies to the correct level.
3. Remove the bolt, nut, and washer on one crank body and position the shim between the
crank body and the conveyor stringer: it should not be necessary to loosen or remove the
torque tube connecting the two crank bodies.
