The Bosch Rexroth BASE UNIT 160+ AL DIRECT (3842546123) is a versatile and efficient solution designed to serve as the foundation for a conveyor system with direct drive capabilities. This base unit features a reduced noise emission owing to its slide rails that are guided in the head drive, ensuring quiet operation. The drive kit can be installed on either the right or left side, offering flexibility in motor, coupling, and flange placement. It is engineered to facilitate the driving of parallel conveyor sections or bridges via an integrated standard hexagonal hollow shaft. The unit boasts stainless steel ball bearings with seals on both sides and FDA-compliant grease filling, maximizing durability and compliance with food safety regulations. It supports gapless implementation of parallel sections and includes slots in the side elements for attaching holders for lateral guides or similar components. To prevent chain backslipping on inclined sections, a chain sprocket is essential. With an effective sliding rail length and actual chain length specified by the product group ID, this base unit has a notable weight capacity. The scope of delivery includes all necessary fastening materials and comes assembled with chain guards enclosed. For optimal performance, additional accessories such as active or passive bridge connection kits and synchronous drive connection kits are recommended; however, a drive kit is required. Constructed from diecast aluminum with a powder-coated silver finish for the housing, PA material for the chain wheel and guide, non-rusting steel ball bearings approved by FDA standards, galvanized steel connectors, and non-rusting steel hexagonal shafts for sizes above PA size specifications—this base unit promises robustness and longevity. It accommodates all track widths and chain types while handling maximum permissible chain tensile force efficiently across section lengths up to L meters at conveying speeds of vN m/min (with other speeds available upon request). Notably designed for non-reversible operation, it includes a chain bag to compensate for elongation over its service life.

BASE UNIT 160+ AL DIRECT

Base unit AL, VFplus 160 dir.

Unpacked Weight: 5.13 kg

Drive of a parallel conveyor section or bridge using a hexagonal hollow shaft integrated as standard Stainless steel ball bearings, with sealing on both sides and FDA-compliant grease filling Implementation of parallel sections with gap dimension down to zero Side elements with slot to attach holders for lateral guides, or similar A chain sprocket must be used to limit the chain slipping back on inclined sections.

The base unit is quickly turned into a head drive with variable mounting position by adding a drive kit.

With the double-sided hexagonal hollow shaft, other components can be easily driven using a transmission (active bridge).

Size: all track widths Suitable chain types: all Permissible chain tensile force: Fmax = 1250 N Section length: L ≤ 30 m Conveying speed: vN 4-27 m/min, other speeds available on request Chain bag to compensate for chain elongation during service life Not suitable for reversible operation
