Design Notes:
- A retainer is recommended for:
- Chuting that is 6' or more above the floor.
- Preventing shingling of sliding parts due to part back pressure.
-Maintaining orientation of parts
- When using retainer rails, retainer strap should be
used on 1'-0" centers
- Approximate pitches for chuting:
(Up to 2 lbs.) Part rolling, pitch about 1" to 2"/ft.
(2 lbs. & over) Part rolling, pitch under 1"/ft
(Up to 2 lbs.) Part sliding, pitch about 1" to 2"/ft.
(2 lbs. & over) Part sliding, pitch under 1"/ft
- Approximate part weight range:
Under 3lbs. - 1/4" bolts
3 to 10 lbs. - 5/16" bolts
over 10 lbs - 3/8" bolts
- For wide roller bearing chute cross sections, parts
will flow best when the bearings are mounted on a center bearing rail, which
provides greater bearing contact.
- For best results, allow 1/8" overall clearance
from side rails to part and from top of part to retainer rail.
