The Bosch Rexroth RETURN UM 2/R VPLUS UM 2/R-V-170 Return Unit (3842536803) is a specialized component designed for setting up conveyor units within various automation systems. This return unit features an accumulation roller chain Vplus, which is notably suitable for use in an Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA), ensuring safe operation in sensitive electronic environments. It is engineered to work seamlessly with all AS 2/R-V-... drive modules, providing a versatile solution for conveyor setups. The design incorporates a pinion for the return unit, which is recommended for conveyor sections up to a length of 6000 mm. This design aspect ensures smooth and efficient operation over longer stretches of conveyor systems. Additionally, the return unit allows for reversible operation, offering flexibility in the direction of the material flow on the conveyor line. A critical specification of this return unit is its capability to handle high-speed operations. When used with the Vplus accumulation roller chain, the workpiece pallet can achieve speeds up to 2.5 times faster than that of the chain itself. However, it is important to note that special measures must be taken when operating at chain speeds greater than 9 m/min to ensure safety and maintain system integrity. Overall, the Bosch RETURN UM 2/R VPLUS UM 2/R-V-170 Return Unit provides a reliable and efficient means of guiding the conveyor medium back to the drive module at the end of a conveyor unit and is an essential component for optimizing material transport within automated systems.
