Optimised self-aligning system
February 1st 2006

Flender's new self-aligning system for conveyor belts is based on the proven Flender Standard Gear Unit (FSG), a product in use in thousands of applications worldwide.

The FSG components are combined in a system specifically designed and optimised for the materials handling industry. Through the use of standard components, Flender guarantees fast deliveries and stock spare parts.

Benefits of the system include quick and easy mounting with no alignment required - simply bolt the output shaft to the pulley shaft and start up; simple, low cost set-up; multiple combinations of drive components with standard parts; minimal maintenance requirements; versatile mounting on either side of the belt; and a flanged motor adaptor for combination with any NEMA or IEC motors.

An innovative cooling system uses an increased cooling surface with ribbed housing and a high efficiency shaft-driven fan with optimised airflow design. The cooler operating temperatures also increase the life of the gear unit's lubrication oil, resulting in less frequent maintenance intervals and lower operating costs.
