Recommendation:
scale a minimum of two 45°, one 35°, and one 20° retreat idler away from the head
pulley.
35° idlers
Recommendation:
adjacent retreat idler is normally higher than acceptable for belt scale installations.
We therefore suggest that when you install the scale close to the head pulley, allow a
maximum of 13 mm (½") vertical displacement between the top of the head pulley and
the top of the center roll of the adjacent roll.
