Static Control on Accumulators

Static charges can build up on a web in an accumulator. When charges become too high, the web may attract to itself or other surfaces, and the accumulator may not extend to its full range.

Place R51 Static Bars, which are very high output bars, in the open areas between the folds of the web (see diagram). If the opposing sides of the web are within 2" or 3" of each other, mount the bars with the pins pointing up. This eliminates the need for two static bars within one fold. Further than 3", two bars may be required within each fold.
