Anchoring slide rail
Fixing slide rail to the conveyor beam
The beginning of each slide rail section must be fixed to
the beam, since the chain will cause the slide rail to be
pushed forward. Slide rail which moves into a wheel bend
or a drive unit can block the chain completely.
There are two different methods for fixing slide rail to
the conveyor beam: using aluminium rivets or plastic
screws. Either method can be used, but the riveting
method is more secure if the conveyor will run with high
operational speed or be heavily loaded.
Method 1: Using aluminium rivets
Mounting:
Hand drill
Drill fixture for slide rail 4,2 mm (XS: 3,2 mm)
Countersink
Rivet crimping pliers/rivet crimping clamp
Aluminium rivets
1 Insert rivets in the holes, using rivet crimping pliers or
a rivet crimping clamp. For type of rivet, see table on
previous page.
2 If working space is limited, the rivet crimping clamp
might be easier to use. The two crimping tools per-
form the same task, but the pliers are more efficient
and easier to use.
3 Check that the rivets do not protrude over the surface
of the slide rail.
Check both top and underneath surface of slide rail for
protruding metal.
4 Keep a distance of approximately 30 mm between riv-
ets and idler unit. This is in case the idler unit has to
be removed after conveyor system assembly.
