Incorrect sprocket attachment can have a major impact on the smooth operation of the conveyor, and can cause eccentric load on the chains, greatly shortening their service life. The general attachment and alignment methods and allowable values are presented below.

Shaft Horizontality

Adjust the horizontality of the shaft to +/-0.2º, using a level.

Shaft Horizontality

Shaft Parallelism

Use a scale, piano wire etc. to adjust the parallelism of the shafts to within +/-1mm.

Shaft Horizontality

Sprocket Alignment

Use a straight edge to adjust the toothed sides (machined parts) of the pair of sprockets, so that distance "a" is within the allowable value (guideline).
If the conveyor is long, use piano wire etc. for measurement. When doing so, turn the sprockets to make sure there is no inconsistency in the value of "a".

Sprocket Alignment
Caution
  • When using sprockets in parallel, make sure their teeth are in phase.
