Product catalog summary
Overview of FlexLink System Building
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for constructing a FlexLink system, emphasizing the use of modular conveyors and their configuration. It highlights the integration of pre-designed modules and individual components to create tailored conveyor solutions.
Modules and Components
The FlexLink system is structured to utilize pre-designed function modules for efficient system design. Additionally, individual components are available for special functions or modifications. Online configuration tools are crucial for ordering, with item numbers indicating the necessity of these tools.
Configuration Principles
The system provides flexibility in meeting price-performance requirements, categorized into performance levels: Basic, Standard, High Performance, High Speed, Conductive, and Tough Environment. Each level is designed for specific load and speed requirements, with configuration tools guiding users to suitable feature combinations.
My FlexLink Portal
My FlexLink is an online portal offering engineering and business tools, including an Online Store, Customer Room, Intelligent Conveyor Software, and Engineering Tools.
Modular Conveyors Introduction
Standard conveyor modules can be configured online, covering straight conveyors, conveyors with bends, and support modules. The configurator provides pricing, lead time, and 3D models, assigning a configuration ID for ordering.
Configuration Procedure
Users must register on the FlexLink website to access the configurator. The process involves selecting desired products and following on-screen instructions, with configuration recipes available for specific application profiles.
Configuration Strings
The document details configuration strings for various conveyor types, including horizontal and vertical conveyors, elevators, spiral elevators, chains, and drive units. Each section provides examples and explanations of configuration parameters.
Key Data from Tables and Schematics
The document includes tables and schematics illustrating configuration options, such as chain pitch, motor speed, and drive unit specifications. These visuals aid in understanding the configuration process and selecting appropriate components.
Drive Units Overview
This section provides detailed specifications and configuration options for drive units with variable and fixed speed motors. It includes information on drive types, motor positions, speed options, gearbox types, Movimot sizes, electrical environments, motor power, thermal protection, hybrid cables, and fieldbus options.
Drive Types
Drive units are categorized based on their configuration, such as direct drive with or without slip clutch, suspended motors, and variable speed options. Specific item numbers are associated with each configuration.
Motor Position
Motors can be positioned on the left or right, affecting the configuration string of the drive unit.
Speed Options
Drive units can have fixed or variable speed ranges, specified in meters per minute (m/min).
Gearbox Types
Various SEW motor types are available, including WA10, WA20, S37, SA37, and S47 with brake, each contributing to the drive unit's performance.
Movimot Sizes
Movimot types range from 0.37 kW to 1.1 kW, with specific types omitted for fixed speed motors.
Electrical Environment
The document specifies electrical environments based on frequency and voltage, including options for SEW Movimot variable speed motors.
Motor Power
Motor power is specified in kilowatts (kW), with certain positions omitted for variable speed motors.
Thermal Protection
Options include no thermal protection, TF, and TH types, with specific positions omitted for variable speed motors.
Hybrid Cable
The inclusion of a hybrid cable is optional and is specified for SEW Movimot configurations.
Fieldbus Options
Fieldbus options include no fieldbus, Profibus, and DeviceNet, with maintenance switch options, omitted for fixed speed motors.
Configuration Strings
Examples of configuration strings are provided for different drive units, illustrating how the specifications are combined to form a complete drive unit configuration.

Configurable Components Building a FlexLink system High performance When designing a FlexLink system the general idea is to take advantage of pre-designed function modules as much as possible. Using Online Store it is possible to configure in very short time to design systems ranging from support to complex modules. In addition, individual components are available to create special functions, modify existing ones, or to serve as spare parts. - Conveyors for high load or high speed applications - Light load with chain pull up to 1250 N and speed below 80 m/min - Low noise - Low dust generation For many products, online configuration tools must be used when ordering. Item numbers (designations) which refer to use of the tools are grey in the catalogue, which means that they cannot be used for ordering. Configuration principles FlexLink´s system is designed to be very flexible with regard to the price-performance requirements. The following performance levels have been established: Basic - A conveyor solution for light load/speed applications - High quality products tailored for low load/speed applications - Light load with chain pull up to 300 N and speed below 40 m/min High speed - Conveyors for speeds up to 130 m/min - Conveyors with conductive materials Tough environment Configuration tools - Conveyors for applications in dirty environments or with foreign particles or with fluid chemicals - High wear resistance - Chemical resistance Based on these performance levels, the configuration tools point the user to the most suitable combination of features to fulfil the requirements. Configuration recipes are available that guide selection of drive unit version and speed, slide rail material, chain types, bend types, etc. For pallet handling devices, it is possible to specify pallet type, support options, sensors, etc. Price and delivery information is given instantly. Once configured you can download a CAD STEP-file of the actual configuration. The configuration tool is easy to learn and available around the clock. - A conveyor solution for the average application - Light load with chain pull up to 800 N and speed below 60 m/min
