The mystery of the squeaky conveyor

Ever run into a stubborn squeak in a conveyor system; i had this issue last week while working on an old unit from the '90s. Turns out, it was just a matter of checking the bearings! It’s wild how something so small can cause so much trouble, and I’m curious to hear how others troubleshoot weird noises on their equipment.

I once had a similar squeak in a late '90s unit. Checking the tension of the belts helped a ton! :construction_worker_man: Sometimes it’s the little things that really matter.
