| | | Friction between chain and pallet In most cases, the coefficient of friction for contact between plain chain and pallet is between 0,1 and 0,35. Temperature limits A FlexLink conveyor can operate continuously at environ- | | |

| | | Maximum conveyor length | | |
| | | |
| | | The maximum length of a conveyor depends on the ten-
| | |
| | | |
| | | sion in the chain, the speed, and the capacity of the drive unit. It is important to calculate and compare the maximum XH chain tension and the capacity of the drive unit in the following situations: Xk • Heavy load • Accumulation XKP • High speed | | |
| | | |
| | | XB GR CS | | |
| | | • Long conveyor • Frequent starts and stops (high service factor). Static electricity | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | The standard plastic materials used for industrial conveyors all have low electrical conductivity. This means that static electricity can build up on the conveyor. If the chain runs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^1 XT the static electricity. XC When a conveyor is running under normal operating conditions but without pallets, the following static build-up can be measured: XF At the drive unit.................................. 2000-2500 V | | |
| | | |
| | | At the idler end unit............................ 400-500 V At a wheel bend................................. 400-500 V At a straight section............................ 300-400 V | | FST XMY | | |
| | | |
| | | | |
| | A pallet running on the conveyor can also build up static electricity. The worst case is with accumulated pallets. Discharge is normally taking place when the pallets are XLX transferred to or from the conveyor. In static sensitive
| | |
| | | |
| | | applications, a number of measures can be taken to reduce the risk of excessive static charges. | | XMX XHX GRX | | |

| | | 1 Ensure that the relative humidity is minimum 40%. 2 Install static discharge wipers immediately before sensitive points on the conveyor. | | |
