Modular Belts - Introduction Outer slide rail Slide rail Belt guide Lower cross bar Modular belt, Radius flush grid, curve-running The belt consists of plastic hinged links connected by plastic rods. The belt is woven together by links that are 102 mm, 124 mm, and 180 mm wide. The assembled belt forms a wide, flat, and tight conveyor surface. Three standard widths of belt can be delivered: 304 mm, 456 mm, and 608 mm. Standard belt color is white but blue belts can also be ordered. Belts with polyamide pins are available for dry or semiwet applications. In constant wet applications, belts with...

Conveyor Beams - Introduction when connecting to an End drive unit is 844 mm. This ensures a sufficient amount of return belt tension directly after the drive sprocket to avoid slack close to the sprocket wheel. The return belt hanging between the first two belt guides provides this belt tension (called back tension). Connecting brackets have to be ordered separately when joining End drives, idler ends, conveyor beams, etc. When joining two conveyor beams, a beam spacer kit must be ordered separately.
