Conveyor Guide Mounting Rods with Clamp


Style A	Style B	Style C	Style D

Style E	Style F	Style G	Style H

A clamp at the end of the rod grips conveyor guides or other rods. Mount rods with brackets and connectors to create support arms.

For Mounting Rods


Style A	Style B

Hollow—Hollow rods are lighter than solid rods and easier to move. They’re the best choice for frequent conveyor setup changes.

Solid—Solid rods are sturdier than hollow rods, so they’re less likely to be knocked out of place by heavy objects on your conveyor.

Hollow—Hollow rods are lighter than solid rods and easier to move. They’re the best choice for frequent conveyor setup changes.

Solid—Solid rods are sturdier than hollow rods, so they’re less likely to be knocked out of place by heavy objects on your conveyor.

Style F—Instead of using bolts, tighten the clamps on style F around a guide rail by twisting the rod into the clamp.

Round—Unthreaded Style A	Round—Unthreaded Style B

Round—Threaded on One End Style A	Square—Unthreaded Style C

Use brackets and connectors to create vertical and horizontal support arms.

Round—Unthreaded

Style A

Style B

Round rods are the most common. However, these rods might cause connectors to slip over time as vibration loosens their hold on the rod.

Hollow—Hollow rods are lighter than solid rods and easier to move. They’re the best choice for frequent conveyor setup changes.

Solid—Solid rods are sturdier than hollow rods, so they’re less likely to be knocked out of place by heavy objects on your conveyor.

Style B—Style B rods save you from having to use multiple rods and an additional connector.

Stainless Steel—Stainless steel mounting rods are the most corrosion resistant.
