Hytrol Chain Roller Curve 25/26-CR

CAUTION: Never remove chain guards while the conveyor is running. Always replace guards after adjustments are made.

Check sprocket alignment by placing a straightedge across the face of both sprockets

Loosen set screws and adjust as needed

Loosen four bolts that fasten motor base to drive support channels (two on each side) and allow the drive assembly to slide downward

The weight of the drive will normally apply enough tension for proper operation

Lubricate chain per lubrication instructions

The drive chain is pre-lubricated from the manufacturer by a hot dipping process that ensures total lubrication of all components. However, continued proper lubrication will greatly extend the useful life of every drive chain.

Drive Chain lubrication serves several purposes including:

• Protecting against wear of the pin-bushing joint

• Lubricating chain-sprocket contact surfaces

For normal operating environments, lubricate every 2080 hours of operation or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Lubricate with a good grade of non-detergent petroleum or synthetic lubricant (i.e., Mobile 1 Synthetic).

For best results, always use a brush to generously lubricate the chain. The proper viscosity of lubricant greatly affects its ability to flow into the internal areas of the chain. Refer to the table below for the proper viscosity of lubricant for your application.

The drive chain’s lubrication requirement is greatly affected by the operating conditions. For harsh conditions such as damp environments, dusty environments, excessive speeds, or elevated temperatures, it is best to lubricate more frequently. It may be best, under these conditions, to develop a custom lubrication schedule for your specific application.

A custom lubrication schedule may be developed by inspecting the drive chain on regular time intervals for sufficient lubrication. Once the time interval is determined at which the chain is not sufficiently lubricated, lubricate it and schedule the future lubrication intervals accordingly.;
