The basic specifications for the Medium-Capacity Enclosed Track Overhead Conveyor include:
Maximum load per pendant 50 lbs.
Maximum drive pull 600 lbs.
Chain breaking load 3,700 lbs.
Normal chain length per drive 600 ft.
Minimum chain friction co-efficient 2.5%
Chain pendant pitch 6 in.
Standard horizontal curve radius 30 in.
Standard vertical curve radius 48 in.
Maximum drive speed 45
F.P.M.
Maximum incline angle 90 degrees
Chain Roller Bearings
Open semi-precision type bearing. Case hardener inner and outer raceways complete with full compliment of case hardener carbon steel balls. The maximum static load capacity is 325 lbs.
Chain Side Links
The conveyor side links are punched from ENS medium tensile steel strip and have a thickness of 3/16 inch.
Spindles
The spindles are machined from EN 32M carbon case-hardening semi-free cutting bright steel. One end of the spindle is knurled to captivate the side link wen it is pressed into position. This eliminates the possibility of it rotating in the link.
Cruciform Block
The cruciform block is manufactured from sintered iron and is suitable for applications of up to 180 degree C (356 degree F.) The cruciform block acts as a universal joint allowing the spindles to articulate in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
Track Construction
The track is manufactured from two accurately cold rolled “cruciform” sections. The two sections are spaced apart by bolted end plates at a pitch of 750mm (29-1/2 inch) centers. Track sections are bolted together using (8) #10 mm bolts and locknuts. The standard length is 3000 mm or 9 feet 10-1/8 inches.
