CONVEYOR CHAINS

The beginning of each slide rail section must be fixed to the beam, since the
chain will cause the slide rail to be pushed forward. Slide rail which moves into
a wheel bend or a drive unit can block the chain completely.
There are two different methods for fixing slide rail to the conveyor beam:
• Using rivets (MA RR 3), this is applicable for MS2 and MM3 series only.
• Using screws (MA RS 6.5), this is applicable for ML2 and MX2
series only (see following pages for instructions).

protruding metal.
