Chain conveyor beam with slide rail - modular automation

Chain conveyor slide strips for beams

The beams are made of aluminium, the plastic chain that can move around bends runs along them. Between the beam and plastic chain there is the slide strip, also called the slide rail. On the following pages you will find an overview of all beams and all chain types from modular automation.

Slide strips or slide rails made of plastic or spring steel strip are used to reduce the friction between the beam and the chain and are fastened to the beam using rivets, adhesive or screws. The slide strip is installed with the greatest possible care to ensure the conveyor chain runs smoothly. The slide strips are available in five different material designs.

Slide strips for beams and chains

The slide strips are available in five different material versions.

	FLCR 25	FLCR 25 H	FLCR 25 P
Material	HDPE (polyethylene)	PA6 + HDPE (polyamide-polyethylene)	PVDF (polyvinylidenfluorid)
Coefficient of friction	0,1 - 0,25	0,1 - 0,3	0,15 - 0,35
Colour	Black	Grey	Transparent white
Advantages	Straightforward mounting, standard slide strip	Resistance to heat	Resistance to heat and chemicals, low tensile elongation
Disadvantages	Low resistance to solvents, high temperatures and heavy accumulations	Unsuitable for wet applications	Difficult to install
Usage	-40 bis +60°C	-40 to +80 °C, suitable for non-metallic abrasive particles	-40 bis +100°C
Applications	Medium load, medium velocity, all industries	High load, high velocities	High load, wet and greasy environment

	FLCR 25 U	FLCR 3 TH
Material	UHMW-PE (wear-resistant polyethylene)	Spring steel strip
Coefficient of friction	0,1 - 0,25	0,15 - 0,35
Colour	White	Natural
Advantages	Low particle production, low wear, straightforward mounting	Resistance to abrasive particles and heat, no tensile elongation
Disadvantages	High tensile elongation	Complex mounting, particles produced in dry environment
Usage information	-40 to +60 °C, low dust formation, conveying velocity >30 m/min	Suitable for milling and grinding work on metals
Applications	Clean production	High load, high temperature ranges, aggressive particles

Note on the slide strips and the coefficient of friction:
The coefficient of friction is normally initially at the lowest value. With usage the coefficient of friction of the slide strip increases. This friction can be reduced again with the aid of lubricants. However, attention must be paid to the selection of the correct lubricant. We would be pleased to advise on the selection of a suitable lubricant.
