Motor and Chain Maintenance
Your label machine utilizes a Servo motor and chain along with a slip clutch
to rewind the waste paper from your label roll.
DO NOT Work on any porting of the motor or chain maintenance /
tensioning while Chain Guard is removed and unit is plugged in.
Follow proper Lock out / Tag out Procedures and make sure that power is
off to the entire system and that the unit is unplugged before working on the
motor or chain drive. The Chain Guard must be in place during operation.
Lubrication
The motor with built-in controller (P/N: 50100-069) requires no lubrication
and the chain will need very little lubricant over its lifetime. Over lubricating
the chain may have adverse effects on the rewind clutch (see below). To
lubricate the chain simply supply a few drops of machine or motor oil to the
chain. The continuous run of the motor during normal operation will work
the lubricant into the chain.
Slip Clutch
The slip clutch (P/N: B258824-02A) on the rewind spindle is a fixed spring
tension. Make sure to keep the clutch dry and free of corrosives and oils.
Over time the components of the clutch will wear and when the tension
(8oz-in torque) prevents the rewind from turning underweight, it should be
replaced.
Chain Tension
The use of a slip clutch means that very little tension is desired on the system.
The chain should have a little sag when properly installed.
