A. Installation of plastic slide rail and support rail
About slide rail
The slide rail is attached to the sides of the conveyor
beam to reduce chain friction where the chain would oth-
erwise be in direct contact with the beam profile. It is very
important that the slide rail is installed properly, so that
the chain can run without disruption.
When the conveyor is to be mounted high above
ground level, it might be easier to mount the slide rail onto
a conveyor section while the conveyor beam is still on the
floor. If doing so, leave an extra end, approximately
300 mm longer than the beam, so that it can be cut off
and adjusted when the beam is finally installed.
Characteristics
Slide rails are available in several materials, each with
different characteristics:
The coefficient of friction is normally closer to the lower
value at startup of a new conveyor. It will increase as the
contact surfaces are wearing in. Lubricants will reduce
the coefficient of friction.
Considerations when selecting slide rail
Each of the slide rails has its own characteristics and is
suitable for different types of applications.
Slide rails made of HDPE or PA-PE are suitable for
most standard applications. PA-PE has higher wear
resistance but should not be used in wet environments.
In environments where high resistance to chemicals
is important, PVDF slide rails are recommended.
Hardened steel slide rails in combination with PVDF
slide rails in bends can be a good combination where
larger particles such as chip occur.
UHMW-PE has the highest wear resistance and can
be recommended in applications with accumulation,
transport of heavy parts, high speed, abrasive particles
or requirements on low dust generation.
Horizontal plain bends
The contact pressure between the chain and the slide rail
is very high in the inner bend of horizontal plain bends. It
is important to use the PVDF slide at this location if the
speed is high as there will be increased temperatures
that may cause melting of other slide rails. This, however,
will result in somewhat higher wear on the chain.
