Installation and Maintenance
 
Although our belts are easy to install and maintain, there are some points which should be observed.
 
 
Sprockets
 
1. Sprockets can be supplied for two types of shafts
 
a) Square Shaft
 
  - Ensure that the sprockets are aligned so that the gear teeth are
  not displaced.
 
  - In the case of sprockets with lateral control, the middle sprocket
  should be fixed and the others allowed to move freely.
 
  - For sprockets without lateral control, spacers can be mounted
  between the sprockets to prevent them from moving sideways.
 
  - For sprockets with 40 x 40 mm square shafts, an acetal plastic
  (POM) retainer ring is also supplied with a 6 mm stainless center screw which should be screwed down into the shaft. The groove for the screw should be made with a drill, file or right-angle grinder (depth 1 - 2 mm).
 
 
b) Round Shaft with keyway (ISO Standard)
 
  - Ensure that the sprockets are aligned such that the gear teeth are
  not displaced.
 
  - In the case of sprockets with lateral control, the middle sprocket
  should fixed and the others allowed to move freely.
 
  - For sprockets without lateral control, spacers can be mounted
  between the sprockets to prevent them from moving sideways
 
  - Retainer rings are not supplied for sprockets with a round shaft.
  The sprocket can be fixed in position by making a threaded hole
  in the hub above the keyway.
 
 
2. The sprockets are normally supplied as standard in acetal plastic (POM), but are also available in Nylon (PA6), Polypropylene (PP) in cases where aggressive substances are used. (When in doubt please contact P.B.A Industrial Supplies Ltd.)
 
 
3. Wherever possible, the drive wheel should be located between the supports.
 
 
4. The number of drive wheels and supports can be seen from the table.
 
 
5. For correct dimensions and specifications, refer to the drawings and tables for the respective belt types.
 
 
6. Clean the sprockets regularly, as the accumulation of dirt on the sprockets can result in poor, or a complete lack of, engagement the belt.
