Conveyor belt cleaner and tensioner assembly

摘要

A conveyor belt cleaner and tensioner assembly (30) adapted to be attached to a cross shaft (32), includes a mounting base (50) adapted to be mounted to the cross shaft (32) and an arm member (100) having a first end and a second end. The first end of the arm member is pivotally attached to the mounting base (50) for pivotal movement about a pivot axis (84). A scraper blade (102) is attached to the second end of the arm member (100). A gas spring tensioner (46) has a first end pivotally attached to the mounting base (50) and a second end pivotally attached the arm member (100). The tensioner includes a housing and a ram having a first end located within the housing and a second end located externally of the housing. The ram is extendable and retractable with respect to the housing to thereby pivot the arm member (100) and the scraper blade (102) about the pivot axis (84) The scraper blade includes a metal scraping tip having an elastomeric wear-in tip. <IMAGE>
