Procedure

Comments

•

Try to let the slide rail run in as many continuous
lengths as possible, except in circumstances stated
below:

•

It is recommended to use short slide rails (2–3 m)
where chemicals may have an effect on the slide rail
composition.

•

It is important to cut the slide rail and allow for elonga-
tion in high load areas. Cutting is required in wheel
bends (see below), by idler units and where the con-
veyor will be heavily loaded, especially by the drive
units. This prevents the slide rail from stretching out
and entering into the drive unit, which may block the
chain.

•

Never join slide rail in horizontal or vertical bends,
since forces are higher on the slide rail in these sec-
tions. Instead, place the joint before the bend.

•

Avoid joining slide rails on top of conveyor beam
joints.

1 Start at an idler end unit.

Separate the top and bot-
tom flange of the slide rail
at the end of the rail and
press it into place.

2 Make sure that you

mount the slide rail so
that it snaps on to the
beam. The different types
of slide rail do not look
alike, so check which
flange should be on top.

3 Use the slide rail mount-

ing tool to press the slide
rail into place. One end of
the tool is used when
slide rail is mounted onto
only one side of the
beam, and the other end
is used when you mount
slide rail onto the second
side.

4 Do not forget to mount

slide rails both under-
neath and on the upper
side of the beam (unless
top running chain only)

Cutting pliers

1 Cut both slide rail ends in

a 45° angle. The begin-
ning of a new slide rail
section (in the direction of
travel) must be cut back a
small angle.

2 Allow a space of approxi-

mately 10 mm between
two slide rail ends. The
arrow indicates travel
direction.

3 Do not place two slide rail

joints opposite each
other. Make sure there is
a distance of at least
100 mm between them to
make the chain run
smoother.

This does not apply to slide rail that begins by an idler
unit or after a drive unit, where joints are always par-
allel.
