The Bosch Rexroth CHAIN STRET. WHEEL 120+ BASIC UNIT (3842553049) is a versatile component designed to enhance conveyor systems by providing a robust head drive solution with variable mounting positions. This base unit can be easily transformed into an effective head drive by adding a direct drive kit, which includes the innovative Chain sprocket VFiplusi, known for its reduced noise emission due to slide rails guided in the head drive. The installation of the drive kit is flexible, allowing for placement on either the right or left side and includes motor, coupling, and flange components. This product is equipped with a double-sided hexagonal hollow shaft as standard, enabling the driving of parallel conveyor sections or bridges and facilitating the implementation of parallel sections with zero gap dimensions. The ball bearings are made from stainless steel and feature seals on both sides along with FDA-compliant grease filling, ensuring durability and compliance with stringent hygiene standards. The CHAIN STRET. WHEEL 120+ BASIC UNIT is suitable for all track widths and chain types, capable of handling a maximum chain tensile force specified by the manufacturer. It can accommodate section lengths up to a certain limit and supports conveying speeds as indicated by Bosch Rexroth, with other speeds available upon request. Notably, this unit features a chain bag to compensate for chain elongation over its service life but is not intended for reversible operation scenarios. Side elements of this product include slots designed to attach holders for lateral guides or similar accessories. Additionally, it's important to use a chain sprocket to prevent chain slippage on inclined sections. The innovative drive concept behind this product contributes significantly to reducing conveyor noise levels, making it an ideal choice for applications where low noise output is essential.
