F.N. Sheppard & Co. Self Tracking Belts

Description
Reasons and Applications for Using V-Guide Tracking Where pulley flanges can not be used or may interfere with products being conveyed Conveyors with long center distance where true tracking is critical Side loading or unloading applications Where the belt runs on its edge in a vertical position instead of lying flat on a conveyor surface Design Considerations When a V-guide is added to the belt it can effect the flexibility which in turn effects the minimum pulley diameter. Modifications to the V-guide can be done to improve the flexibility, such as notching. Various size V-guides can be applied. Typically the V-guide is placed on the bottom center of the belt. It can also be positioned off-center, or combination V-guides can be used on wide belts. There should be clearance between the V-guide and pulley or slider bed groove. See drawings and chart below. V-guide Sizes (Inch & Metric): O, A, B, C, K6, K8, K10, K13 V-guide Material: Urethane, PVC, Neoprene Rubber, Rubber Modified Vinyl, FDA V-guide Construction: Solid, Notched, Serrated
