- A
  Ashley HowellAug 8, 2025
  A jerky running Dorner Accessories conveyor can be caused by several factors. It could be due to a damaged or badly fitted slide rail, which should be inspected and replaced if necessary. An incorrectly adjusted slip clutch can also cause this issue, so adjust the slip clutch accordingly. Other potential causes include worn transmission parts (check/replace transmission chain, chain drive sprocket), a conveyor chain that is too tight or loose (tension correctly), or a dirty conveyor (clean the conveyor chain/slide rail).

How to reduce noise from Dorner Accessories?
- F
  Frank LoveAug 13, 2025
  Excessive noise from your Dorner Accessories can stem from several sources. Worn or damaged bearings in the drive unit could be the culprit; check or replace the drive unit. Also, check the free running of the conveyor chain, especially in slide rail joints, as damage or poor fitting can cause noise. Excessive conveyor speed can also contribute, so check the actual load against the recommended loading. Finally, incorrect conveyor chain tension can lead to noise; lubricate the chain with silicone spray with Teflon™.

  David OrtizAug 23, 2025
  Clutch ratcheting or slipping in your Dorner Accessories can occur due to a few reasons. Excessive or accumulated load can cause this, so avoid load buildup by running the conveyor continuously. Improper ratchet clutch tensioning is another possibility; refer to ratchet clutch adjustment in Maintenance. You should also review the belt and repair or replace any damaged or missing chain assembly parts as required. Lastly, accumulation of conveyed material or foreign objects inside of casing can cause this issue, so remove the chain and clean it out.
