The Bosch Rexroth CHAIN STRET. WHEEL 160+ BASIC UNIT (3842553057) is a versatile and innovative component designed for conveyor systems. This base unit can be effortlessly transformed into a head drive with variable mounting positions by adding the corresponding drive kit. It features a unique double-sided hexagonal hollow shaft that allows for the active bridging and driving of parallel conveyor sections or bridges, enhancing its adaptability to various system layouts. The product is suitable for all track widths and compatible with all chain types, ensuring broad application across different conveyor setups. It has been engineered to handle a maximum permissible chain tensile force, and it supports section lengths and conveying speeds specified by the user, with other speeds available upon request. The unit includes a chain bag designed to compensate for chain elongation throughout its service life, although it is not intended for reversible operation scenarios. One of the key capabilities of this model is its reduced noise emission due to slide rails that are guided in the head drive, which contributes to a quieter working environment. The implementation of parallel sections can be achieved with zero gap dimensions, showcasing the unit's precision in maintaining tight conveyor alignments. The CHAIN STRET. WHEEL 160+ BASIC UNIT incorporates stainless steel ball bearings sealed on both sides and filled with FDA-compliant grease, ensuring durability and compliance with food industry standards where applicable. Side elements feature slots for attaching holders for lateral guides or similar components, providing additional customization options. Furthermore, this model includes a provision for using a chain sprocket to prevent chain slippage on inclined sections of the conveyor system. This feature is essential for maintaining consistent operation and preventing potential disruptions due to chain movement. Overall, the Bosch Rexroth CHAIN STRET. WHEEL 160+ BASIC UNIT offers an innovative drive concept that enhances conveyor system functionality while prioritizing efficiency and noise reduction in its design.
