01Bearing lubrication
Our low-profile conveyors use sealed, lubricated-for-life bearings, so there’s no routine relubrication. AccuVision is one example.
The belt, drive and other components keep their own maintenance requirements, and we’ll find the information for the components on your conveyor.
02Belt maintenance
Belt care depends on the conveyor: the belt material, tracking system and belt-release mechanism decide which procedure applies.
03Belt tensioning and tracking
Our belt calibration system has a gauge on each side that shows belt length and tension position. On conveyors with a pivoting tail release, the tail moves back to create slack while keeping the calibration setting.

Increase Tension / Re-track Belting
Step-by-step adjustment for the calibrated tension/track adjuster, the rack-and-pinion tail and the eccentric tail. Tracking is adjusted on the side opposite the drive, while the conveyor is running.
Working near the motor? Let it cool first; motor temperatures can reach 170–225°F. We’ll confirm the right procedure for your conveyor.
