The drive is a device that powers the traction chain. It consists of a motor, a reducer, a frame, and a drive chain. The motor is connected to the reducer. Power is transmitted to the traction chain through the two sprockets and the drive chain.
The common faults and maintenance methods of the apron feeder drive unit are as follows:

Failure form	cause of issue	Maintenance method
The motor doesn’t run	Circuit disconnection Overload switch failure	Check external wiring Reset or replace the switch
Slow start		Check line voltage
Excessive wear of the chain	Poor lubrication	Check lubrication parts, chain and chain support wheels with grease
	Chain blocking when running	Remove obstacles and replace chains damaged by obstacles
	Conveyor overload	Adjust the load to meet the design requirements
Chain is too slack	The chain lengthens due to normal wear and tear	Adjust the tensioning device, remove a chain to ensure the chain pitch
Motor heating	Unstable voltage, fuse blown	Check line voltage and replace fuse
Frequent parking	Motor bearing damage poor chain lubrication	Replace the motor bearing Lubricating traction chain
Reducer heating	Less reducer lubricant wrong type of lubricant	Adding lubricant Lubricating traction chain
Reducer noise Reducer vibrat	Lack of lubricant Bearing lack of oil or damage Mounting bolt loose	Add lubricant as required Lubricate or replace bearings Fastening mounting bolt
Reducer oil leakage	Oil plug loose Bearing oil seal damage	Fastening oil plug Replace oil seal
Drive chain excessive wear	Drive chain position and sprocket is not correct Poor lubrication	Adjust the drive chain and sprocket Cleaning the sprocket, chain, and lubricating oil
Drive chain running noise	Drive chain gap is not suitable Drive chain tilt	Adjust the drive chain and sprocket Cleaning the sprocket, chain, and lubricating oil
Drive chain pulsation	Large meshing clearance, loose drive chain Drive or traction chain wear is severe	Adjust the support rail and tension the sprocket Replace heavily worn parts

1. The apron feeder is started under no-load condition. After 2 to 3 minutes of starting, the conveying material is added.
2. During the operation of the apron feeder, it is not allowed to clean and repair the moving parts, nor to adjust the tensioning device.
3. In the running process of the apron feeder, if encountering various abnormal conditions, press the emergency stop button in the car, and then drive after the fault is eliminated.
4. Before the apron feeder stops, the materials in the machine should be unloaded.
