Product Overview
The chain plate turning guide rail is an important accessory for conveying machinery, mainly used to guide the smooth turning of the chain plate during the conveying process. It is usually made of ultra – high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW – PE). This material has excellent abrasion resistance, self – lubrication, and impact resistance, enabling it to operate stably in various harsh environments.
Main Features
- High Abrasion Resistance: It can withstand long – term high – load operation without being easily worn out.
- Self – lubricating Property: No additional lubricating oil is required, reducing maintenance costs.
- Strong Impact Resistance: It can effectively resist the impact force during operation.
- Good Low – temperature Performance: It can still maintain good performance in low – temperature environments.
- Lightweight and Easy to Disassemble and Install: It is convenient for installation and maintenance.
- Non – toxic, Odorless, and Environmentally Friendly: It meets environmental protection requirements and is harmless to the human body.
Application Fields
The chain plate turning guide rail is widely used in multiple industries, including but not limited to:
- Steel Mills: Used for conveying heavy objects such as steel coils.
- Thermal Power Plants: It plays a crucial role in the coal conveying process.
- Coal Mines: Helps to improve the efficiency of coal transportation.
- Food Processing: Suitable for the conveying links in food production lines.
- Packaging Machinery: Improves the speed and accuracy of packaging operations.
Selection and Customization
- Customization Service
The chain plate turning guide rail can be customized according to specific requirements, including shape, size, and material. For example, Hebei Furui’er Wear – resistant Materials Co., Ltd. provides customized processing services to meet the special needs of different customers. - Specification Dimensions
The chain plate turning guide rail has a variety of specification dimensions, and an appropriate model can be selected according to the actual application scenario. Common specifications include single – row, double – row, and triple – row chain guide rails, and the maximum width can be customized.
I. Functions and Design Features
- Steering Guidance
Through a guide rail groove or roller set with a special structure, the running track of the chain plate is constrained to ensure that it does not derail or jam in the turning section. The common turning radius needs to be designed according to the width of the chain plate and the hinge structure. For example, the articulated chain plate can adapt to a smaller turning radius. - Load – bearing and Stability
The guide rail is usually made of wear – resistant alloy steel or high – molecular composite material. A lubricating coating can be added to the surface to reduce friction. Some designs adopt a segmented support structure to disperse the lateral force of the chain plate during turning.
II. Application Scenarios and Compatibility
- Complex Conveying Layouts
It is suitable for assembly – line scenarios that require multi – direction turning, such as warehouse sorting systems and automobile assembly lines , supporting path planning like “S – shaped” and “U – shaped”. - Heavy – load and High – speed Scenarios
In combination with high – strength chains and variable – frequency drive devices , it can maintain turning stability when conveying heavy materials and reduce impact and vibration.
III. Maintenance and Selection Suggestions
- Regular Lubrication and Inspection
It is necessary to pay attention to the wear condition of the contact surface between the guide rail and the chain plate, and clean foreign objects in a timely manner to avoid problems such as increased energy consumption or noise caused by increased friction . - Customized Design
Select parameters such as the cross – sectional shape of the guide rail (such as V – shaped, U – shaped groove) and the installation inclination angle according to the actual working conditions. If necessary, combine with sensors to achieve speed synchronous control in the turning section
