Lesson 1Common bolts and joints: bolt strengths, tightening specs, locknuts, and thread sealersThis lesson talks about bolts and joints used when putting together conveyors. It explains different bolt strengths, how much to tighten them, ways to lock them, and special compounds to stop them from coming loose, making sure connections are strong, easy to check, and can handle shaking.

It explains the rules, usual designs, how to fix them in place, how to check them often, and making sure they follow safety standards when putting together and looking after them.

It points out how they are built, where they are used, and main things to think about when putting them together and keeping them running.

It compares good points, limits, how to tighten them, and what care they need for each type.

It focuses on basic choices, lining up, fixing in place, and regular checks for steady work.

It covers load limits, shaping, covering, spacing, and how they direct and hold the belt or items being moved.

It covers close-range and light sensors, limit switches, motor starters, wiring ways, and how mechanics can work safely with them.

It explains shapes, cross bars, and floor or roof supports, including lining up, making level, anchoring, and strength for steady, low-shake running.

It covers choices, fits, oiling, fixing ways, and common break reasons for putting together and care.
