Rear belt cover plate for the Major sander

The Rear belt cover plate on the frame of the Major sander is a mechanical component designed to protect the sander's motor drive belt. Its main role is to prevent debris, dust and other potentially abrasive particles from coming into contact with the belt. This helps to extend the life of the belt and keep the sander running smoothly. Here's how it works and when you may need to change it:

How the rear belt cover plate works:

1. Belt protection: The rear belt cover plate is placed around the motor drive belt to protect it from debris and dust generated during sanding. This prevents premature belt wear.

2. Prevention of obstructions: By preventing debris from entering the belt, the rear belt cover plate reduces the risk of obstructions or blockages that could interrupt operation of the sander.

Wear points on the rear belt cover plate :

1. Dust build-up: Over time, the rear belt cover plate can accumulate dust and debris. This can reduce its effectiveness as a protective barrier and lead to increased belt wear.

2. Physical damage: Shocks, impacts or excessive stress can damage the rear belt cover plate, causing scratches, cracks or other damage.

3. Loss of efficiency: If the belt is showing signs of premature wear, or if you notice that the rear belt cover is no longer able to protect the belt effectively, it's time to change it.
