Standard pitch is a center spacing of 22.7mm or 44 roller shafts per meter. Coarse pitch is the center spacing of 37mm or 27 roller shafts per meter. T-bar is a support piece used in conveyor sizes over 450 and prevents bending of the roller shafts. Press fit rollers are a roller that is attached to the roller shaft to create a uniform spin. Sprocket is pressed onto the roller shaft and interlinked with the chain to provide rotation. The Timing Jump Belt transmits power from a roller shaft with a sprocket, to one without.
A lube strip is an oil-impregnated plastic that transfers lubrication from the plastic to the chain while the system is running. Lube stripes should be inspected for dryness every 3 months. Pulleys couple the drive belt to the drive shaft while pressed onto the roller shaft. The drive belt transmits power from the line shaft to a pulley. Considered a 'wear' item and should be on a spares list.
The jump belt transmits power horizontally from roller shaft to roller shaft. The drive shaft transmits power from the primary power transmission to the individual roller shafts via belt drives.
