DRIVE UNIT FOR A CONVEYOR CHAIN

摘要

DRIVE UNIT FOR A CONVEYOR CHAIN Drive unit for a conveyor chain supports a chain track between a pair of vertical side plates of a rigid fixed frame. One side plate carries a bearing supporting a reducer vertically by its output shaft, an idler sprocket, and a back-up bar for a drive chain driven by a sprocket on the output shaft. The other side plate carries an assembly which positions the conveyor chain in engagement with the drive chain. A cantilever frame connected to the reducer housing supports a drive motor and pivots with the housing about the output shaft to indicate excessive driving torque.
