Generally, a chain is bent in transverse course only. Nonetheless, a 3D Bending Conveyor Chain is often structurally bent not only horizontally but additionally vertically. It’s used for a conveyor line which moves vertically and modifications in path.
X Form Chains for Trolleys, and Energy & Free Conveyors
X-type Chains are utilised 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 made use of for a 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 is often 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 made use of for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It’s widely made use of in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.

FH Variety Chain for Freeyor
An FH Style 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 Style Chain is employed for intermediate loads. While X-type Chain and Z-type Chain could be vertically bent only slightly, FH-type Chain could 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 could be bent horizontally and can also move on a slight incline. It’s made by forging, and a recess for hooking a dog is formed at the center of each link.
