Base Frame for Timing Belt Conveyors
The timing belt conveyor base frame provides a stable base for the conveyor and supports precise, low-vibration operation. It is available in Series 40 and 80 and is designed for single-lane and multi-lane arrangements with different lengths and inclinations.
The construction of anodised aluminium extrusions provides high dimensional stability and corrosion resistance. Levelling feet enable stationary use, while braked swivel castors provide mobility. Attachment brackets allow rigid connection to a machine frame or the floor. Mounting via a connecting plate simplifies alignment and reduces commissioning time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of a timing belt conveyor support frame?
The base frame provides stable support for the timing belt conveyor, promotes precise operation and facilitates secure integration into the overall system.
For which timing belt conveyors and lane configurations is the base frame available?
Base frames are available for the ZF40/40 and ZF40/80 in single-lane, double-lane and triple-lane configurations to suit the application.
How are the height and support spacing of a timing belt conveyor support frame determined?
The base frame is designed to suit the conveyor length, number of lines, incline and required installation height. The detailed design is defined for the specific application.
Is it possible to design the base frame for an inclined timing belt conveyor?
Yes. The base frame is specified according to the inclination, infeed height and outfeed height. It stabilises the timing belt conveyor along the conveyor line.
How is the base frame of a timing belt conveyor attached to the floor or a machine frame?
Mounting brackets are available for rigidly attaching the base frame to a machine frame or the floor. Connecting plates simplify installation and alignment of the conveyor. Height-adjustable levelling feet can also be secured to the floor if required.
When are levelling feet, castors or floor-fixing elements suitable?
Levelling feet are suitable for stationary systems, castors for mobile solutions and floor fixings where additional stability is required.
