The Bosch Rexroth RETURN 240+ AL (3842547520) is a state-of-the-art return unit designed to integrate seamlessly into conveyor systems. This versatile unit features a reduced noise emission due to its slide rails being guided in the return unit, enhancing the operational environment. The option to install the drive kit on either right or left motor, coupling, or flange makes it adaptable for various configurations. It also allows for the drive of a parallel conveyor section or bridge using an integrated standard hexagonal hollow shaft. The RETURN 240+ AL is constructed with robust materials including die-cast aluminum housing with powder coating, PA for the chain wheel and chain guide, and non-rusting steel ball bearings that are sealed on both sides with FDA-compliant grease filling. These features ensure durability and compliance with stringent hygiene standards. Side elements come with slots for attaching holders for lateral guides, providing additional functionality. This product is designed to accommodate all track widths and chain types while handling permissible chain tensile forces efficiently. Its innovative drive concept allows it to be used as either a return unit or as a head drive without a chain bag, offering maximum flexibility in application design. The RETURN 240+ AL can support section lengths up to a specified maximum when used in return unit function and different lengths when utilized as a drive function. Capable of achieving conveying speeds of vN m/min, with other speeds available upon request, this unit is not suitable for reversible operation but can be used in combination with the drive kit as a wedge conveyor drive. Its high flexibility and short delivery times are attributed to Bosch Rexroth's commitment to stocking standardized components. The RETURN 240+ AL arrives fully assembled including fastening material, ensuring quick and easy installation into your conveyor system setup.

Return unit AL; VFplus 240

Unpacked Weight: 3.08 kg

Thanks to the innovative drive concept, the return unit can be operated simply by itself or supplemented with a drive kit to be operated as a head drive without chain bag. The section length is limited to a maximum of 7 m.

Size: all track widths Suitable chain types: all Permissible chain tensile force

Return unit function: Fmax = 1250 N

Head drive function without chain bag: Fmax = 600 N

With shortened maintenance interval, due to chain elongation

Section length for return unit function: L ≤ 30 m

Section length for drive function: L ≤ 7 m
