Ashworth Product Technical Bulletin THE ADVANTAGE120 WEARSTRIP PLACEMENT A = Sprocket Hub Diameter This is only a guideline; it does not take into account the influence of speed. At speeds above 75 ft/min [23 m/min], Ashworth recommends increasing the distance A and shortening the wear strips as much as one belt pitch in length. BELT SUPPORT RAILS For standard acetal (POM) Advantage 120 belt, use UHMW capped or stainless steel support rails. Eliminate any sharp corners or rough surfaces that might gouge or prematurely wear the belt. Surface finish should be smooth to the touch. Support rail spacing...

Ashworth Product Technical Bulletin THE ADVANTAGE 120 Friction Coefficients Between Belt and Wear Strip Material Module Material Stainless Steel Wet [Dry] UHMWWet [Dry] Acetal (POM) 0.20 [0.25] 0.15 [0.15] To Reduce Belt Tension and Wear: Clean product debris from the support rails. Clean ice and product debris from the belt, sprockets, and idlers to prevent belt damage. Observe the effect of temperature on the coefficient of friction between the supports and the belt. Products may leave a slick residue at room temperature that can become viscous or sticky as the temperature decreases. At freezing...

Ashworth Product Technical Bulletin THE ADVANTAGE120 STANDARD LOADING Turn curve applications The allowable loading per length of belt is determinedby the ratio of the inside turn radius and the radius to the tension link. Allowable Loading per length of belt = Radius to Tension Link / Inside Turn Radius Sample Calculation: Let BW = Belt Width = 30 in [762 mm] IR = Inside Turn Radius = 66 in [1676 mm] Radius to Tension Link = IR + BW = 66 [1676] + 30 [762] = 96 in [2438 mm] Allowable Loading = 96 in / 66 in [2438/1676] = 1.46 Allowable loading is therefore one product length per 1.46 lengths...

Ashworth Product Technical Bulletin THE ADVANTAGE 120 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS STRAIGHT RUNS Minimum straight run before and after every turn must be at least 1.5 x belt width. Minimum straight run between two opposite curves is at least 2 x belt width. SPIRAL CAGE BAR CAPS / INSIDE TURN RAILS Spiral Cage Applications A stainless steel drum, stainless steel cage bars, or UHMW capped cage bars are recommended. Stainless steel may increase the driving force against the belts inside edge. Eliminate any sharp corners or rough surfaces that might gouge or prematurely wear the belt. Surface finish should...
