The Bosch Rexroth CHAIN STRET. WHEEL 240+ BASIC UNIT (3842553058) is an advanced conveyor system component designed to offer versatility and efficiency in material handling applications. This base unit can be rapidly converted into a head drive with variable mounting positions by incorporating a direct drive kit, facilitating the easy installation of the drive kit on either the right or left side. It features a double-sided hexagonal hollow shaft that allows for the driving of parallel conveyor sections or bridges, enhancing its adaptability to various system configurations. The product is suitable for all track widths and is compatible with all chain types, ensuring broad applicability across different conveyor setups. It boasts a maximum permissible chain tensile force and can support section lengths and conveying speeds as specified by user requirements, with options for other speeds available upon request. The unit includes a chain bag designed to compensate for chain elongation over its service life, although it is not intended for reversible operations. In addition to its functional capabilities, the CHAIN STRET. WHEEL 240+ BASIC UNIT significantly reduces noise emissions thanks to its slide rails guided in the head drive. The ball bearings are made of stainless steel with seals on both sides and are filled with FDA-compliant grease, making them suitable for environments where hygiene standards are paramount. For inclined sections where chain slippage may be a concern, the use of a chain sprocket as part of this system is recommended to prevent backslipping. The side elements of the unit include slots for attaching holders for lateral guides or similar accessories, allowing for precise customization according to specific application needs. This innovative drive concept ensures seamless integration of parallel sections even with zero gap dimensions between them, exemplifying Bosch Rexroth's commitment to providing modular and efficient conveyor solutions.
