The Bosch Rexroth RETURN 160+ AL (3842547519) is a robust and versatile return unit designed for conveyor systems, featuring a reduced noise emission due to its slide rails guided in the return unit. It allows for flexible installation with the possibility of mounting the drive kit on either right or left side, and includes a hexagonal hollow shaft integrated as standard for driving parallel conveyor sections or bridges. The ball bearings are made from non-rusting steel, sealed on both sides, and filled with FDA-compliant grease, ensuring durability and compliance with food safety regulations. This unit's side elements come with slots for attaching holders for lateral guides or similar accessories. The RETURN 160+ AL is fully assembled upon delivery and includes all necessary fastening materials. The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a powder coating, while the chain wheel and guide are made of PA material. For larger sizes, the hexagonal shaft is crafted from non-rusting steel to ensure longevity. Capable of handling all track widths and suitable for all chain types, this return unit can withstand a maximum permissible chain tensile force in its return function of up to Fmax 1250 N. When used as a head drive without a chain bag, it can manage up to Fmax 5000 N. It supports section lengths up to L=30 m in return unit function and L=15 m in drive function. With conveying speeds of vN = 12 m/min (and other speeds available upon request), it offers high flexibility and short delivery times due to its innovative drive concept. The RETURN 160+ AL is not intended for reversible operation but can be used as a wedge conveyor drive when paired with the appropriate drive kit. Its pulling section allows for pushing operation on request, further enhancing its versatility within conveyor system applications.
