Assembly Instructions MA-100154 TB40 Conveyor 1.11 Service life The service life depends heavily on the frequency of use, care, and compliance with the specified maintenance requirements. If the intended use is observed, an average product service life of 10 years can be expected. In this context, care must be taken to ensure that wearing parts such as conveyor belts, toothed belts, round belts, shock absorbers and sensors must be replaced according to the specified maintenance intervals.
Any use that goes beyond the intended use or is different is considered improper use. Improper use A misuse of the TB40 can lead to dangerous situations. In particular, the following uses must be avoided: • Direct exposure to light from UV lamps.

Assembly Instructions MA-100154 TB40 Conveyor Storage of packages Store the packages under the following conditions: • Do not store outdoors. • Store in a dry and dust-free environment. • Do not expose to aggressive media. • Protect from exposure sunlight.
Assembly Instructions MA-100154 TB40 Conveyor Commissioning DANGER Electricity Risk of electric shock and thereby risk of injury or death in contact with live or live parts! ⇒ Work on the electrical system must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Assembly Instructions MA-100154 TB40 Conveyor Assembly and Disassembly IMPORTANT Shafts oiling The shafts and hub bores to be connected must be free from dirt and burrs. Oiling the bearing journals will make assemb- ling and disassembling the coupling hubs easier. Oiling the coupling hubs will not reduce their clamping force.
Assembly Instructions MA-100154 TB40 Conveyor X 3 Position the conveyor with the positioning screw (30) and fasten it to the floor stand with the hex socket head cap screws (20) and washer (10) (tightening torque 6 Nm), repeat on the other side.
⇒ Make sure there is no load on the Conveyor prior to disconnecting the power source. NOTICE ook-up description This chapter only describes the use of the TB40 conveyor belt with the standard connection type. NOTICE Power supply 24 VDC A 24 VDC power supply must be provided.

Electrical Grounding of the conveyor Before commissioning the TB40, it must be electrically grounded. The grounding connection TB should be used for this pur- pose. This is mounted in a groove of the chassis. The grounding cable can then be connected between the two washers using a cable lug (included for grounding connection TB).
Assembly Instructions MA-100154 TB40 Conveyor Setting the necessary pretension of the belt NOTICE Pretension according nameplate The correct tension for a conveyor belt is shown on the nameplate attached to the belt drive, for example: 0.4%. Procedure X 1 After the belt is mounted, glue two measuring marks (M) on the top of the belt in an untensioned state so that they have a spacing (L ) of 500 or 1,000 mm for example.
Assembly Instructions MA-100154 TB40 Conveyor Belt Tracking (centric run of the transport belt) IMPORTANT Centric run of the transport belt The belt must always run centered over the diverter roller and the drive roller. Under no circumstances may the edges of the belt project laterally over the ends of the rollers! The belt tracking over the deflection rollers is corrected by tightening or loosening the hexagon head screw (90).
