  • Page 27: Adjust Balance Of Weights

    Installation, assembly and setting 6.4.2 Adjust balance of weights The oscillating forces in the base plate of the Afag linear feeder are compensated almost completely due to the principle of opposing oscillations. To ensure this vibration force compensation, the following conditions must be observed in the design of the conveyor rail: 1.
  • Page 28: Natural Frequency Fine Adjustment

    Installation, assembly and setting 6.4.3 Natural frequency fine adjustment The Afag linear feeder works by making use of resonance. Weights that are not exactly balanced require a spring stiffness modification. For this purpose, sliding adjustment plates (1) are mounted on the base plate attachment of the spring assemblies.
  • Page 29 Installation, assembly and setting In the following cases, the natural frequency of the linear feeder is not set correctly and must be readjusted by moving the adjustment plates. When moving the setting plates, make sure that the setting plates are always horizontal and that the top edges are always exactly opposite each other.
