Bucket Elevators
For chain and sprocket drive
elevators, place the probe so that
the gap between the bucket and the
probe does not exceed 102 mm (4").
To prevent damage to the probe from
eccentric bucket motion, ensure that
the gap is not less than 12.5 mm
(0.5") in the worst condition.
Preferred location for belt-driven elevators
with ferrous bucket spacing greater than
76 mm (3"), and non-ferrous buckets with
ferrous bolts
.
For ferrous buckets with spacings less than
76 mm (3") locate probe on the front of the leg.
