8.1.2 Measures to reduce wear
The following measures reduce wear and the friction caused by it:
• Switch off conveyor sections when the system is not running, e.g. during breaks,
over night, on the weekend.
• Only select speeds that correspond with the particular function.
• Especially important: Avoid contamination by abrasive media or reduce
contamination through regular cleaning.
8.1.3 Environmental conditions
Resistant to many common media used in production such as water, mineral
oil, grease, and detergents. Contact your Rexroth representative if you have any
doubts about resistance to specifi c chemicals, e.g. test oil, doped oils, aggressive
detergents, solvents, or brake fl uid.
Avoid long-term contact with acidic or basic reacting materials.
Wear may increase dramatically if the system is contaminated due to environmental
factors, particularly with abrasive media such as sand and silicates, but also due to
processes running on the transfer system (e.g. welding beads, pumice dust, glass
shards, shavings, or lost parts...). In such cases, maintenance intervals must be
substantially shortened.
Resistance to media and contamination does not mean that functional safety is
guaranteed in every case.
• Liquids that thicken on evaporation and are highly viscous or adhesive (sticky)
could lead to a disruption in function.
• Media with lubricating properties may reduce the driving power that is caused by
friction if they are carried over onto systems with belts or round belts.
Such cases require special attention when planning the system and adjusting the
maintenance intervals.
