Timing belt conveyor accessories
The accessories expand the range of functions of the Timing belt conveyor and support the safe, process appropriate handling of the conveyed material.
Side rails stabilise sensitive or narrow workpieces and ensure controlled movement. The shaft guard protects moving components and reduces the risk of contact during operation. Emergency stop switches enhance functional safety and enable the system to be stopped immediately. The selection is application-specific and designed for integration into existing conveyor lines and machines.
Frequency converter
Centralised and decentralised frequency converters are available for flexible speed control. The configuration is application-specific and adapted to the control system of the conveyor section.
Side rails
Adjustable side guide for secure guidance of the conveyed product. The clear width and height can be adjusted. Available with plastic or stainless steel guide rails.
Shaft guard
Protective cover in the shaft area of the timing belt conveyor. It reduces the risk of entanglement with moving components and is recommended when no separate protective device is provided.
Emergency stop switch
Safety option for the immediate stoppage of the conveyor. The emergency stop switch is positioned according to the specific application and integrated into the conveyor line’s control system.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which accessories are available for a timing belt conveyor?
Accessories for the timing belt conveyor include frequency inverters, side guides, shaft guards and emergency stop switches.
When is a frequency inverter suitable for a timing belt conveyor?
A frequency converter is useful when the conveying speed needs to be flexibly controlled. Centralised and decentralised frequency converters are available. The configuration is application-specific and adapted to the control system of the conveyor line.
Which side rail is suitable for a timing belt conveyor?
A side rail supports the controlled movement of conveyed goods on the timing belt conveyor. It is particularly relevant for narrow, sensitive or laterally unstable workpieces and for applications with defined transfers. The design is based on the dimensions, surface and position of the conveyed goods.
The clearance and height are adjustable. Versions in black PVC-U or stainless steel 1.4301 are available. The rail can be adjusted inwards, outwards, upwards or downwards, depending on the configuration.
What is the function of the shaft guard on a timing belt conveyor?
The shaft guard is a protective cover for the shaft area of the timing belt conveyor. It reduces the risk of people unintentionally reaching into the area of moving components.
When is an emergency stop switch used on a timing belt conveyor?
The emergency stop switch allows the timing belt conveyor to be stopped immediately when required. Its position is selected according to the application, and it is integrated into the controls for the conveyor line.
