4.7.2 Driver Pad Replacement
The driver pad, supplied in lengths up to 500 feet, is installed by pushing it onto the
chain’s extended pins. It is usually installed in one continuous length; however
multiple shorter lengths can be pieced together. The minimum length is 10 feet.
Figure 4-5 Cutting and Re-splicing the Driver Pad
Use the following instructions to install the driver pad.
1. Turn off power and lockout/tagout all power supply to the conveyor.
2. At one end of the pad, make a square cut centered between two holes.
3. Chamfer the edges 1/8 inch at a 45° angle. See illustration this page.
4. Start installing the driver pad with the cut/chamfered end of the pad located 12
inches from a connector link. This location keeps the driver pad splice away from the
connecting link high spot, and makes it easier to find a link assembly in the future.
5. Firmly push the entire pad fully onto the chain pins, until it seats against the side
links of the chain.
6. Continue installing the pad along the entire length of the chain.
7. Mark the pad where it overlaps the pad’s other end.
