Generally, a chain is bent in transverse route only. Having said that, a 3D Bending Conveyor Chain is usually structurally bent not just horizontally but additionally vertically. It is utilized to get a conveyor line which moves vertically and alterations in route.
X Kind Chains for Trolleys, and Power & Free Conveyors
X-type Chains are used for trolleys, and power & free conveyors. They are drop-forged rivetless chains featuring high strength, lightweight and easy removal of components. The bottom left photo shows an X-type Chain used as a trolley conveyor with only one 
rail.
The bottom right photo shows an X-type Chain made use of for any power & free conveyor. An additional rail is installed to receive the load for higher transfer capability.
A energy & free conveyor generally has a so-called stop and go function to connect and disconnect conveyed materials with and from the chain, so that the conveyed materials is usually temporarily stopped, mixed and stored.
Three kinds of X-type Chains are available according to required strength.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors
A Z-type Chain for trolley conveyors is made use of for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It’s widely used in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors
A Z-type Chain for trolley conveyors is used for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It is actually widely employed in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.
FH Type Chain for Freeyor
An FH Variety Chain is utilised for the same purpose as an X-type Chain and Z-type Chain. While X-type Chain is designed for heavy loads and Z-type Chain is for light loads, FH Kind Chain is made use of for intermediate loads. While X-type Chain and Z-type Chain could be vertically bent only slightly, FH-type Chain may be bent both vertically and horizontally, which makes it suitable for a conveyor line moving vertically. We manufacture three kinds of FH-type Chains different in pitch.
Towline Low-Selec-Tow Chain
A towline conveyor has a mechanism to convey dollies caught by a chain buried in the floor. Our chain for towline conveyor is called LST chain (Low-selec-tow chain).
LST Chain may be bent horizontally and can also move on a slight incline. It really is made by forging, and a recess for hooking a dog is formed at the center of each link.
