Generally, a chain is bent in transverse route only. On the other hand, a 3D Bending Conveyor Chain may be structurally bent not merely horizontally but also vertically. It can be used to get a conveyor line which moves vertically and changes in direction.
X Style Chains for Trolleys, and Power & Free Conveyors
X-type Chains are utilized for trolleys, and electrical power & free conveyors. They are drop-forged rivetless chains featuring high strength, lightweight and easy removal of components. The bottom left photo shows an X-type Chain employed as a trolley conveyor with only one rail.
The bottom right photo shows an X-type Chain utilised for any energy & free conveyor. An additional rail is installed to receive the load for higher transfer capability.
A electrical power & free conveyor generally has a so-called stop and go function to connect and disconnect conveyed materials with and from the chain, so that the conveyed materials may be temporarily stopped, mixed and stored.
Three kinds of X-type Chains are available according to required strength.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors
A Z-type Chain for trolley conveyors is utilized for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It truly is widely utilised in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors
A Z-type Chain for trolley conveyors is applied for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It’s widely made use of in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.
FH Sort Chain for Freeyor
An FH Form Chain is employed for the same purpose as an X-type Chain and Z-type Chain. While X-type Chain is designed for heavy loads and Z-type Chain is for light loads, FH Variety Chain is made use of for intermediate loads. While X-type Chain and Z-type Chain can be vertically bent only slightly, FH-type Chain is usually bent both vertically and horizontally, which makes it suitable to get a conveyor line moving vertically. We manufacture three kinds of FH-type Chains different in pitch.
Towline Low-Selec-Tow Chain
A towline conveyor has a mechanism to convey dollies caught by a chain buried in the floor. Our chain for towline conveyor is called LST chain (Low-selec-tow chain).
LST Chain could be bent horizontally and can also move on a slight incline. It really is made by forging, and a recess for hooking a dog is formed at the center of each link.
