Inline Feeders

What are Inline / Linear Feeders?

Inline feeders convey oriented parts in a linear motion across tracks designed to transport a specific part shape or product. ADI's unique self-canceling design reduces the vibration transmitted to the mounting surface. Inline feeders can be fastened directly to the machine base and requires no rubber feet for mounting. Reliable track alignment is obtained through the absence of rubber feet.

Adjustable: 120 pulses per second (AC Tuned)

Single Screw Tuning

The Model 5100A and the Model 5300A Series of Adjustable Inline Feeders can be field-adjusted to accommodate lighter or heavier tracks weights by turning a single socket head screw. This Single Screw Tuning (SST) can compensate for a wide range of track weights. It is now possible for a Model 5100A to be tuned with a tracks weight as light as 4 ounces or as heavy as 48 ounces by sliding and tightening a single screw located on the outer spring bank of the feeder. Refer to the dimensional drawing to locate the screw for each series of Inline Feeders.

The Model 5200A (T-4) is the smallest of the Inline Feeder Series and services track lengths of up to 10” with weights up to 2lbs. This inline feeder can be supplied in 120v or 220v, 60 hz or 50 hz. By effectively lengthening and shortening the working length of its fiberglass springs, the strength of the T-4 inline feeder can handle a wide range of weight and length modification of your track without the need for factory intervention.

Note: ADI must know the load rating to ensure a range of adjustment within the range of track weights to be used by the customer. Customers can also request that a unit be tuned for a single track weight.
