INTRODUCTION
This service manual pertains to the disassembly and assembly of CAMCO’s 1.5 link, 2.0 link, 3.0
link, 4.5 link, and 6.0 link “Table Top” Precision Link Conveyors and CAMCO’s 6.0 and 9.0 “Heavy-
Duty” Precision Link Conveyors.
The CAMCO Precision Link Conveyor comes in two types: “over and under” and “carousel”. Both
are driven by a CAMCO Index Drive containing cam followers and a precision ground cam. In-
spection and service on the Index Drives is covered in a separate Service Manual for the specific
model Index Drive.
This manual is to be used in conjunction with the "General Service Manual" which describes the
lubrication and general maintenance of CAMCO Index Drives.
Drawings of the various size links are included in this manual. The procedures in this manual
reference the item numbers of these drawings.
Also included is a complete Bill of Materials for your convenience in identifying and ordering spare
or replacement parts.
Some users of CAMCO’s Precision Link Conveyors have the facilities and trained personnel to
accomplish service repair. You must determine the extent to which intricate servicing should be
done in your facility. When in doubt, CAMCO recommends that CAMCO trained serviceman make
the repairs.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CAMCO Precision Link Conveyor is a precision mechanical device that requires no internal
adjustment during its expected service life when operated within rated loads and speeds.
All CAMCO Precision Link Conveyors employ the “link on link” design, meaning all links are identi-
cal to each other and can be used for fixture mounting, rather than the “link on spacer bar” design
which permits only every other link to be used for fixture mounting.
The connection of the two links consists of a precision ground link pin (2) with precision needle
bearings (1 and 6) in each link ear.
The ends of pins (2) are fitted with precision link pin followers (3) which ride in the main frame
guides and support the loads on the face of the link as well as restricting face “in and out” move-
ment.
Each link is furnished with link support cam followers (10) to support loads and eliminate any
movement between the link and conveyor main frame.
