Guide rails are used to guide the products being con­veyed and also to prevent them from falling off the con­veyor. The FlexLink conveyor system includes a versatile system of guide rails and guide rail brackets which make it possible to accommodate many different product sizes and shapes. Guide rail brackets are available in fixed or adjustable configurations.

Most guide rail components in this catalogue section can be used with any of the six FlexLink sizes XS, XL, X85/XM, XH, XK, and XB. Note however that the con­veyor beam height of XS and XL is 65 mm whereas that of XM, XH, and XB is 75 mm (X85 74 mm). The height of the XK beam is 95 mm. This must be considered when you calculate the height of the guide rail. Also note that some guide rail brackets can hold XL angle plates only, whereas others can hold X85, XM and XH angle plates only.

Special guide rail products are available for XL, X85, XM, and XK pallet handling systems, and for the Series X and XMY products.

Mounting hardware for guide rail brackets etc. must be ordered separately, unless otherwise noted.

The guide rail components assortment includes several adjustable guide rail bracket components which allow manual width adjustment without the use of tools, for reduced setup time. A guide rail system for automatic adjustment of the track width has been developed. See page 197.

The distance between guide rail brackets depends on the side forces to be expected, and on the guide rail type and material. In buffer conveyors with side forces, much shorter distances between brackets are required than in non-buffering applications. The distance should be somewhere between 0,3 m and 1,5 m.
