In general, a chain is bent in transverse path only. On the other hand, a 3D Bending Conveyor Chain might be structurally bent not just horizontally but in addition vertically. It is employed for any conveyor line which moves vertically and changes in path.
X Kind Chains for Trolleys, and Electrical power & Free Conveyors
X-type Chains are utilized 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 applied as a trolley conveyor with only one rail.
The bottom right photo shows an X-type Chain utilized to get a energy & free conveyor. An additional rail is installed to receive the load for higher transfer capability.
A power & 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 used for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It truly is widely made use of in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors

FH Type Chain for Freeyor
An FH Sort Chain is used 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 utilized for intermediate loads. While X-type Chain and Z-type Chain could be vertically bent only slightly, FH-type Chain might be bent both vertically and horizontally, which makes it suitable to get a 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 might be bent horizontally and can also move on a slight incline. It is actually made by forging, and a recess for hooking a dog is formed at the center of each link.
