    Modular Mini Chain Belt Conveyors

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Conveyors. Modular Mini Chain Belt Conveyors.
    Build a mini conveyor in any shape you need. These conveyors have curved, straight, incline, and decline runs that you can quickly join together with the included brackets. They're often used in areas with limited floor space and applications that require frequent layout changes. To customize your conveyor, add on components, such as package stops and merge guides, with the built-in T-slots on the side. These conveyors come with guides installed.
    You'll need a drive assembly, an idler assembly, and a belt to complete your conveyor. To determine the belt length you need, multiply your conveyor’s length by 2.1. If you need a belt longer than what’s available, you can connect multiple together. Use a belt installation tool to pull out the pin, then line up two ends and push the pin in with the tool to connect them. You can also shorten a belt using the same tool.
    Maximum run length is 70 ft. with two 90° curves. Adding more curved conveyors will reduce the run length.

    High-Accuracy Roller Chain Wear-Indicating Gauges

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Chain Wear Gauges. High-Accuracy Roller Chain Wear-Indicating Gauges.
    Precisely measure chain elongation to see if you need to replace your chain. These gauges give a more accurate reading than alternatives because they’re designed to anchor to a roller and extend across several links. A color indicator helps you quickly measure the space between rollers. If the gauge rests on top of the chain and you see green markings, your chain doesn't need to be replaced. If it slips between two rollers and you only see red markings, it’s time for a replacement.

    Select the sprocket center-to-center size range that matches your system. Then specify the following dimensions: sprocket center-to-center; large sprocket OD; small sprocket OD; clearance between sprocket and side of guard (2" of clearance is recommended); and guard depth (1" of clearance is recommended).
