Center-Channel Roller Chain Guides
These guides align chain more precisely than open-channel guides. Use them to minimize friction, reduce noise, and prolong the life of your roller chain. They can be cut to the exact length you need.
PTFE guides withstand higher temperatures than polyethylene guides. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Open-Channel Roller Chain Guides
Minimize friction, reduce noise, and prolong the life of your roller chain. Guides can be cut to the exact length you need.
PTFE guides withstand higher temperatures than polyethylene guides. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
Channel-Guided Roller Chain Tensioners
Built-in springs put constant tension on roller chain to absorb and buffer shock, reduce vibration, and improve drive performance.
