1. How to select specifications
The standard Standard Series.
Low Friction / Wear resistant (LF) specifications are often used for transporting containers such as beverages.
Furthermore, if you need good sliding properties to reduce snagging of transported items, we recommend the ultra-Low Friction / Anti-Wear (ALF) specification.
These three specifications are the standard specifications (materials).
For anything other than the standard, you will need to select a high-performance series that suits your application and purpose.
Please refer to the table below for information on how to use the ultra-Low Friction / Anti-Wear (ALF) specification and the standard and Low Friction / Wear resistant (LF) specifications.
| Specification | needs | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Series (Gray, White, Blue, Sky Blue) |
Areas where moderate slippage is sufficient (areas where excessive slippage is problematic) |
|
| Low Friction / Anti-Wear (LF) specifications (white, green, brown) |
Areas where Standard Series lack slipperiness |
|
| Ultra-Low Friction / Anti-Wear (ALF) specifications (light blue) |
Areas where greater slipperiness than the current low friction specifications is required, such as conveyors where continuous accumulation occurs and [multiple strand to single strand alignment sections]. Also, measures to prevent slippage when transporting containers, etc. (Currently, even with low-friction specifications, there is insufficient slippage, and slider fluid is used frequently in these areas.) |

Applicable chain type
WT0405-W
- Note) Operating temperature range: -20 to 150°C
Low temperature and chemical resistant specifications [Specification code: UPE]
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used for the chain links
Appearance Color:
Matte White [UPE]
Purpose
- Frozen food storage warehouse transportation
- Transporting frozen foods on a freezer conveyor
- Conveying food that requires chemical cleaning or contamination prevention measures
- Transporting secondary batteries and other items that require chemical resistance
- In an environment where chemicals are used, such as for cleaning and sterilizing the filling room
Low ambient temperature
Can be used in low ambient temperatures of -70°C (Standard Series are up to -20°C)
Shock resistance
It has extremely high impact resistance and is difficult for foreign matter to get mixed in even when used in a low temperature environment.
Compared to polyacetal resin, it has 13 times the impact resistance when used in a room temperature atmosphere and 26 times the impact resistance when used in a low temperature atmosphere.
Abrasion resistance
Wear when used in a room temperature environment is reduced by approximately 80% compared to polyacetal resin.
Chemical resistance
It exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals.

- Notes: 1. Maximum allowable load is approximately 30% of Standard Series.
- Note 2) Operating temperature range: -70 to 60°C
- Note 3: If using at temperatures below -20°C, a special sprocket is required. Please contact us for details.
- Note 4: Stainless steel (cold rolled material) is recommended for wearstrip material. UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) is not recommended as it is made of the same material.
