General informations
Design
- In the transmission configuration, design at least one adjustable axis, plan one adjustable tension roller (not spring-loaded) for fix centre distances
- the bearing has to be absolutely rigid
- Note the importance of a parallel run and flush alignment of the synchronising pulleys
Transport/storing
- Upon receipt, unpack the timing belts immediately and store in circular position (CONTI® SYNCHROFLEX polyurethane timing belts) in a dry place at room temperature
- Do not bend
Mounting
- Fit timing belts on the pulleys when slack without exerting any force
- Exert no force when fitting with fix centre distances (CONTI® SYNCHROFLEX polyurethane timing belts) if necessary, fit together with synchronising pulleys
- Apply pre-tensioning force according to the chapter "Pre-tension"
- secure adjustable axis against sliding
- Do not clamp the timing belt between the flanges
Operation
- Protect the drives against dust, dirt, hot surrounding media as well as acids and lyes
- Take into consideration the ambient temperatures (see Characteristics of polyurethane timing belts)
