Splices

Maxi-Splice AB                        

• Non-ferrous metal of very high tensile strength

• Usable on belts up to 1200 PIW tensile

• Non-sparking, non-corroding and non-rusting

Maxi-Splice CI

• Ferrous metal of moderately high tensile strength

• Usable on belts of up to 600 PIW tensile

• Silver color

Description     

• The maxi-splice is a mechanical clamping device with a simple three piece construction. The patented design is for use on PVC and rubber belting.

• It accommodates belts of all thicknesses

• Standard splice bolts will accommodate up to 1/2" thick belting. Longer bolts are available for thicker belts.

• Each splice set accommodates two inches of belt width.

• It is tested and approved by leading manufacturers of PVC and rubber belting.

Installation

1. First ensure the belt ends are square and even. If using the splice template tape, apply the tape to mark the punching. Be sure to apply the tape squarely on the belt ends; then proceed to Step 4. If you are not using the tape go to Step 2.

2. Draw a line approximately 4-1/4" from the belt end to use as the center line for hole punching. Proper installation for even width belts will begin just inside the belt edge. Odd belt widths require installation 1/2" from the belt edge.

3. Use the Maxi-Splice as a template to mark the hole locations for punching. After making the first hole, move over 2" and mark each consecutive hole.

4. Punch both belt ends for the1/2" diameter bolts.

5. The two end plates and center plate are used for firm belt gripping. The end plates have two gripping areas- the slotted gripping area is mounted toward the face of the belt and is followed by a series of gripping teeth. These teeth are always mounted toward the tail of the belt. The center plate is symmetrical and cannot be improperly installed.

6. IMPORTANT: We have supplied a 1/2" diameter, 4" long Grade 5 bolt and nylon locking nut. The bolts must be torqued for Maxi-Splice to effectively clamp. The torque requirment is 75 foot pounds for belts up to and including 600 PIW-belts greater than 600 PIW tensile require 100 ft. pounds of torque.

7. Run the belt for thirty minutes; stop the leg and re-torque the bolts.
