wearstrip basics

Transport is carried out on the tension side of the chain, and the slack side is supported by wearstrip with gently bent ends to prevent chain vibration and conveyor pulsation.

wearstrip basics

Chain slack

There should be 90-140 (while running) of slack under the drive sprocket.

wearstrip height

A = sprocket pitch diameter - roller diameter 2

Bending of wearstrip end

The radius of wearstrip must be larger than the back bend radius R of the chain (see the table below).

Backbend radius R mm 280 380 480 560 740 880

Chain guide

  • - On the conveying side... Always support the load on the chain rollers. Supporting the load on the plastic cover will cause the plastic cover to wear out quickly.
  • return-way...Make sure to receive the entire plastic cover.
