The Bosch Rexroth CONNECTING KIT VF+ 160 BRIDGE BELT L (3842558006) is an integral component designed for seamless integration into conveyor systems. This connection kit serves as an active belt bridge, primarily utilized to connect the basic unit with the return unit or to bridge gaps to third-party conveyors. It is compatible only with flat conveyor chains and static friction chains, providing a reliable transfer of materials that are approximately 20 mm in length or greater, depending on various factors such as speed, center of gravity positioning, and product friction. The kit facilitates installation on both the drive and return sides of a conveyor system but requires selection of the correct left or right (L/R) version for proper orientation. It's important to note that this product is not suitable for wet operations, environments with harsh conditions, or for use with sharp-edged products. Additionally, accumulation is not advised as it might lead to system inefficiencies or damage. Designed for loads with specific speed constraints (as indicated by the provided diagram), it ensures longevity and optimal performance when the speed of adjacent conveyors is matched to prevent excessive wear. The active belt bridge boasts a simple yet effective mechanism for transmitting drive force through hexagonal hollow shafts that come standard with the base unit or return unit. Retrofitting this connecting kit into an existing standard configuration can be done at any time, offering flexibility for upgrades or system modifications. Maintenance and belt replacement are made straightforward due to its accessible design allowing easy access from above. The Bosch Rexroth CONNECTING KIT VF+ 160 BRIDGE BELT L weighs 4.5 kg and arrives partially assembled; additional assembly is required upon delivery. It includes fastening materials, transmission components, and a protective cover within its scope of delivery. The construction material comprises aluminum, non-rusting steel, PA, PE, ABS, PUR ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The dimensions designated by 'Size b' ensure compatibility with various conveyor setups while maintaining a compact footprint within the system architecture.
