Introduction

2.6 Reference symbols
In most cases of assembling the drive units in chapter 4, Conveyor assem-
bly, the slide rail and chain needs to be installed before the assembly can
be completed. Therefor the underlying symbols will be used to refer the
reader to the chapters concerning mounting of slide rail and chain, instead
of showing the steps repeatedly.
n°1 refer to chapter 5, Assembly slide rail, while n°2 refer to chapter 6,
Mounting conveyor chain.

3.1 Support systems assembly
Most conveyor support designs are based on vertical support beams com-
bined, if necessary, with horizontal support beams. The conveyor must be
supported at regular intervals not exceeding 3 000 mm, and always place
a support as close to the drive unit as possible.
3.1.1 Beam cutting length
L = H – h1 – h2
The beam length required to obtain a specific conveyor height H depends
on the conveyor size, foot type and beam support bracket. In this case, CS
beam support brackets are used.
In the formula H represents the height from the floor to the top of a stand-
ard plain chain. Most support combinations permit height adjustments,
both at the foot, and at the beam support brackets.
L<3 000 mm
