General informations

Design

  • In the transmission configuration, design at least one adjustable axis, plan one adjustable tension roller (not spring-loaded) for fix centre distances
  • the bearing has to be absolutely rigid
  • Note the importance of a parallel run and flush alignment of the synchronising pulleys

Transport/storing

  • Upon receipt, unpack the timing belts immediately and store in circular position (CONTI® SYNCHROFLEX polyurethane timing belts) in a dry place at room temperature
  • Do not bend

Mounting

  • Fit timing belts on the pulleys when slack without exerting any force
  • Exert no force when fitting with fix centre distances (CONTI® SYNCHROFLEX polyurethane timing belts) if necessary, fit together with synchronising pulleys
  • Apply pre-tensioning force according to the chapter "Pre-tension"
  • secure adjustable axis against sliding
  • Do not clamp the timing belt between the flanges

Operation

  • Protect the drives against dust, dirt, hot surrounding media as well as acids and lyes
  • Take into consideration the ambient temperatures (see Characteristics of polyurethane timing belts)
