Twisted BeamsTwisted beams can be used in applications where a grad-ual rotation of the conveyor beam is desired.

A twisted beam consists of three beam sections: two short pieces of standard conveyor beam and one split beam section.

This bulletin is an instruction on how to make twisted beams

Twisted beam

Components

A twisted beam consists of three beam sections: twoshort pieces of standard conveyor beam and one splitbeam section. Note that slide rail XLCR 3 T (stainlesssteel) is not suitable for twisted beams.

The illustration and tables below show what componentsthe twisted beam consists of. Page 4 contains a shortinstruction on how to twist the split beam.

Twisting a split beam

1 Assemble the split beam. There should be at least 5 beam clips per meter. Leave a “clip-free” distance of 100 mm at each end.

2 Mount the standard beam sections at the ends of the split beam.

3 Mount connecting strips at the ends of the assem-bled beam section.

4 Place one end of the beam in a vice and tighten it

5 Holding the connecting strips at the other end, twist the beam, using a lever, to the desired angle. If the end parts are damaged during the operation, replace them.

The twist degree of the split beam has to be proportional with the length and type of beam required (X45H,XL,X65 XM, X85 or XH). See tables below for further details.
