The High Performance Conveyor Chain (also referred to as the Solid Machined Wheel Conveyor Chain) is designed for maximum flexibility and durability in enclosed track conveyor systems. Built on a 6 in. pitch with an 80 lb/ft load rating, this chain alternates vertical wheels and lateral roller units in a universal joint-like design that ensures smooth operation around short radius vertical and horizontal curves.
The vertical wheels are machined steel with precision alloy caged ball bearings, carrying the load on the bottom of the track except when negotiating bottom vertical curves, where they bear against the top of the track. Lateral units are manufactured to the same standards, assembled into forged steel links, and guide the chain through horizontal curves. Alloy pins and hardened steel rollers connect the vertical and lateral units, taking thrust in either direction.
Detachable at any point for ease of maintenance, the chain is supplied in 10 ft. boxed coils or 300 ft. crates, priced per box.
