Belt Splice Retaining Collar
Installation
When installing a new
conveyor belt, a new retaining
collar with set screws will need
to be installed to prevent the
belt splice cable from “walking”
out. Failure to install the set
screws may cause the belt
splice to open up and catch
on the conveyor frame, tearing
the belt.
Use the following procedure to
install the belt retaining collar
with set screws.
1. Lockout/tagout all power
to the machine.
2. Make sure the belt splice
cable matches this.
Measure to make sure.
If the belt splice cable
size does not match,
order the correct cable.

3. Apply red Loctite “271” to
the set screw holes
located on the top of the
new retaining collar.
4. Slide the retaining collar
onto the end of the belt
cable. Make sure the
cable is centered on the
belt splice.
5. Tighten the set screws.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 on both
ends of the cable.
