Component Specifications

Definition
The Casing (Leg) is a critical structural component in elevator bucket conveyor systems that supports the vertical casing sections, ensuring proper alignment, stability, and load distribution. It connects the conveyor casing to the foundation or supporting structure, maintaining the vertical orientation required for efficient material transport while withstanding operational stresses including vibration, material impact, and environmental forces.
Working Principle
The leg provides rigid mechanical support through bolted or welded connections to both the conveyor casing and foundation. It transfers operational loads (including weight of materials, dynamic forces from bucket movement, and vibration) to the supporting structure while maintaining precise vertical alignment of the casing sections to prevent misalignment that could cause jamming or excessive wear.
Materials
Typically fabricated from structural steel (S235JR, S355JR per EN 10025) or stainless steel (304, 316) for corrosive environments. Thickness ranges from 6-20mm depending on load requirements. Surface treatment includes hot-dip galvanizing (ISO 1461) or powder coating for corrosion protection.
Technical Parameters
  • Height 500-3000mm (adjustable)
  • Weight 15-150kg depending on size
  • Load Capacity 500-5000kg per leg
  • Mounting Type Base plate with anchor bolts or welded connection
  • Adjustment Range ±50mm vertical, ±20mm horizontal
  • Connection to Casing Flanged or direct weld
Standards
ISO 5048, ISO 1536, DIN 15231, DIN 22101

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of the casing leg in elevator bucket conveyors?

The casing leg provides structural support and stability to the vertical casing sections, ensuring proper alignment and load distribution while connecting the conveyor to the foundation.

How are casing legs typically installed and adjusted?

Casing legs are installed using anchor bolts through base plates or welded connections. Most designs include adjustment mechanisms (typically slotted holes or threaded rods) allowing ±50mm vertical and ±20mm horizontal alignment during installation.

What materials are commonly used for casing legs in different environments?

Structural steel (S235JR/S355JR) is standard for general applications, while stainless steel (304/316) is used in corrosive environments. Surface treatments like hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating provide additional corrosion protection.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
