9 Operation
9.1 Information on operation
9.1.1 Wear
• Individual components are subject to unavoidable wear by their very nature.
Constructive measures and the selection of materials help ensure functional
reliability over the full service life. However, wear is also dependent on
the operating, maintenance and ambient conditions at the place of use
(resistance, contamination).
• Overloading the conveyor sections can cause the conveyor medium to malfunction
and lead to the premature breakdown of motors and gears.
• If components are overloaded, it is not possible to guarantee their function.
9.1.2 Measures to reduce wear
The following obvious measures will reduce wear:
• Switch off the conveyor section during line downtime, e.g. during breaks, at night
and on weekends.
• Do not select a higher speed for the conveyor section than that required for the
corresponding function.
• Avoid contamination caused by abrasive media, reduce contamination by cleaning
on a regular basis.
9.1.3 Loading the workpiece pallet
The modular units are designed and tested under the assumption that the workpiece
pallets will not all have the same weight during one cycle on one conveyor section.
Workpiece pallets are both loaded and unloaded.
Signifi cantly different weights may require special measures to avoid malfunctions.
NOTICE
Damage and malfunctions caused by incorrect selection of the center of gravity
The product can get damaged, shortening its service life.
The center of gravity and the maximum torques from the ActiveMover product
catalog must be taken into account.
9.1.4 Environmental factors
• Our products are resistant to many media that are commonly found in
manufacturing, such as water, mineral oil, grease and detergents. Contact your
Rexroth representative if you have any doubts about resistance to specifi c chemicals,
such as test oil, doped oils, aggressive cleaning agents, solvents or brake fl uid.
• Avoid prolonged contact with highly reactive acidic or alkaline materials.
