Drive Chain and Driver Pad Replacement
The following maintenance procedures may require operating the conveyor with
exposed moving parts. As the conveyor is jogged to index the chain/pad, keep
clear of the conveyor. Do not perform any work as the conveyor is being jogged.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Whenever the conveyor is stopped, perform the Lockout/Tagout procedure at the
power source.
If drive chain/driver pad replacement is required:
1.
Inspect all sprockets in the drive and idler sections for signs of wear. Replace any
sprocket showing signs of excessive wear.
2.
Install the new drive chain.
3.
Install the new driver pad, refer to topic Driver Pad Replacement in this chapter.
4.7.1 Drive Chain Replacement
Note: The initial setting of the tail end take-up unit should be in its most retracted
position. See topic Inspecting the Chain Tensioner in this chapter.
To prepare for the new chain installation:
1.
Turn off power and lockout/tagout all power supply to the conveyor.
2.
Remove all carrier rollers.
3.
Orient the chain spool so the extended pins on the chain point upward.
4.
Unroll a manageable length of chain from the spool, keeping the spool axis vertical
to avoid twisting or distorting the chain. The spool can be positioned on a secure
piece of shafting mounted in a vertical position.
5.
Install the chain beginning near the drive sprocket.
