In industrial conveyor technology belt and chain tensioning systems are essential to ensure a continuous flow of material. They play a central role in the tension control of the drive elements, which conveyor belt, -tapes or chains move. Slip-free, low-maintenance and energy-efficient operation can only be guaranteed with constant, optimum voltage.
For example, in an automated order picking system. Here, a spring-loaded chain tensioner ensures a constant tension of the transport chain. This prevents jerky movements when starting up and at the same time protects the drive motors from load peaks. The result is smooth running, a longer chain service life and lower maintenance requirements.
Without clamping systems, sagging, slippage or uneven application of force can quickly occur. These are typical causes of increased wear, noise and unwanted downtime. As modern belt and chain tensioners automatically compensate for temperature-related changes in length and natural wear, the availability of conveyor systems can be significantly increased.
So if you need a little tension again, we will be happy to advise you on selecting the optimum belt and chain tensioning system for your system.
