Side-bow chain

Side bow chains are often used as conveyor or drag chains in applications that require bending and turning. Chains can have different arc radii. As a rule, these chains have a smaller pin diameter, but tapered pins or double tapered bushings are also possible. What can side bow chains be used with? Side bow chains can be used with standard sprockets. Depending on the application, side bow chains can be supplied with special lubricants or special coatings, or they can be varied with bent attachments, flat plastic conveyor plates or extended pins. Accumulation chains are also available in side bow versions. Side bow chains are used in a wide variety of applications, Some examples of their use are; conveyor technology, cleaning technology and industrial laundries, high-temperature plant environments, the textile industry, the packaging industry, logistics systems and the food and beverage industry. Side Bow Chains are used where a curved track is required, but where there are concerns over the stress on the chain from large radius bends. The side bow chains generally have reduced pin diameters and run around a variety of curves with different track radii. Conical or biconical bushes can also be used for a multitude of applications. Side bow chains are made from steel or stainless steel, depending on what is needed for the application. The chain itself can be made from any type of metal but it is often made from high-quality stainless steel so that it will not rust easily. With a variety of curve radii, side bow chains can be fitted to virtually any conveyor or drag chain carrier and extremely low profile.
