Accumulation chain

Accumulation chains guarantee trouble-free positioning of the transported goods and almost completely avoid jolting when the system is moving and at rest. Idler rollers on both sides serve two purposes: They engage with the gear’s teeth to transmit power. They support the chain on the guide rail. As Makelsan Chain, we offer various chains in different performance classes. Our products can be designed as middle or side rollers depending on the need and usage. In addition to the standard accumulation chains, side bow accumulation chains are also included in our production. The carrier rollers in the chain are also available in hardened steel, stainless steel, nickel-plated or plastic versions. Accumulation chains allow workpiece carriers to be accumulated, separated, buffered, and positioned at any point throughout the workflow, and therefore conveyed independently of the process cycle. The workpiece carriers or jigs can also be bolted to the conveyor chain for synchronized transport without accumulation. They are used to convey piece goods during the accumulation-free conveyance operation. During this process, the accumulation roller chain will continue to run smoothly under the accumulated piece of goods due to freely movable conveyor rollers.

The chain travels continuously, and each link of the chain is suspended by a roller. The rollers can be adjusted to allow for different speeds so that the chain is transported at different speeds depending on the product being transported.
