Slip clutch adjustment
12.2.1
Introduction
The slip clutch on the drive unit is a safety device which allows the chain to
stop if the load becomes excessive. It has two purposes:
•
Prevent damage to conveyor
•
Prevent damage to the products on the conveyor
Where a slip clutch is fitted, it must be adjusted so that it does not slip
whenever the drive unit is started under full load. The installation is carried
out as follows:

Preparations for adjustment
1.

2.
Ensure that the conveyor can not be started accidentally. For example:
unplug the electric power plug.

If you try to adjust the slip clutch when there is still load on the conveyor, the accumulated
tension in the chain can cause severe injuries when you release the clutch.
