Normally, a chain is bent in transverse route only. However, a 3D Bending Conveyor Chain can be structurally bent not just horizontally but additionally vertically. It really is made use of for a conveyor line which moves vertically and alterations in direction.
X Sort Chains for Trolleys, and Power & Free Conveyors
X-type Chains are used for trolleys, and electrical power & free conveyors. They are drop-forged rivetless chains featuring high strength, lightweight and easy removal of components. The bottom left photo shows an X-type Chain made use of as a trolley conveyor with only one rail.
The bottom right photo shows an X-type Chain made use of for any electrical power & free conveyor. An additional rail is installed to receive the load for higher transfer capability.
A energy & free conveyor generally has a so-called stop and go function to connect and disconnect conveyed materials with and from 
the chain, so that the conveyed materials might be temporarily stopped, mixed and stored.
Three kinds of X-type Chains are available according to required strength.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors
A Z-type Chain for trolley conveyors is utilised for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It’s widely employed in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.

FH Style Chain for Freeyor
An FH Form Chain is utilized for the same purpose as an X-type Chain and Z-type Chain. While X-type Chain is designed for heavy loads and Z-type Chain is for light loads, FH Variety Chain is employed for intermediate loads. While X-type Chain and Z-type Chain can be vertically bent only slightly, FH-type Chain is often bent both vertically and horizontally, which makes it suitable for any conveyor line moving vertically. We manufacture three kinds of FH-type Chains different in pitch.
Towline Low-Selec-Tow Chain
A towline conveyor has a mechanism to convey dollies caught by a chain buried in the floor. Our chain for towline conveyor is called LST chain (Low-selec-tow chain).
LST Chain may be bent horizontally and can also move on a slight incline. It can be made by forging, and a recess for hooking a dog is formed at the center of each link.
