(e.g. safety end-switch).

Cleaning

Always keep the screw conveyor free of dust and conveyed material deposits. Checking and cleaning takes
place by opening the inspection cover or by removing the trough cover.

Inspection intervals

The screw conveyor must be checked at regular intervals which may vary depending on operational applica-
tion, but at least every 500 operating hours, and in the event of unusual noise, wear or damage. It is recom-
mended to perform daily checks (visual inspection) running-in phase.

12.1 Assembly of the chain drive

The condition of the roller chain and sprockets parts must be checked in regular intervals and re-greased.
• Sufficient grease is to be reapplied to the running surfaces of the roller chains.
• If necessary the chain is to be either re-tightened by means of chain tensioner or by shifting the geared
motor.

Protect new components from soiling.

• Push the new bearing, seals and clamping sleeve in the correct mounting position onto the shaft and fix
into the designated position.
• Tighten the clamping sleeve nuts under consideration of the radial bearing clearance, see Chapter 12.4.2
Adjusting the radial bearing clearance, 30.
• Fill the bearing housing with grease, see Chapter 14 Lubrication, 33.

12.4.2 Adjusting the radial bearing clearance

The radial bearing clearance L is the distance between the outer race and unloaded bearing roller, see Fig. 12-
1: Adjusting the radial bearing clearance, 30.
• Measure the radial bearing clearance L by means of feeler gauges.
• When the bearing is loose, there is "radial bearing clearance before installation", see Tab. 12-1: Radial
bearing clearance, 31.
• The bearing clearance L is reduced by means of tightening the shaft nut of the adapter sleeve. This "re-
duction of bearing clearance" must be kept within certain limits, see Tab. 12-1: Radial bearing clearance,
31.

NOTE
Damage to the device is possible
If the "minimum permissible bearing clearance" is undershot, see Tab. 12-1: Radial bearing clear-
ance, 31, correct function of the bearing can no longer be guaranteed.
 The minimum permitted bearing clearance is not allowed to be undershot.
"Radial bearing clearance before installation" minus "reduction of bearing clearance" equals
"radial bearing clearance after installation".
• Turn the bearing several times.
• Afterwards measure the bearing clearance.
If there is a deviation to the specified "radial bearing clearance after installation", see Tab. 12-1: Radial
bearing clearance, 31, then the "radial bearing clearance after installation" state is to be set by means of
tightening or loosening the adapter sleeve. This process is then to be repeated.
