FlexMove FC (105 mm) Conveyor System
Installation
Fixing Slide Rail
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. A slide rail which moves into a wheel bend or a
drive unit can block the chain completely. The riveting
method is more secure if the conveyor will run with high
operational speed or be heavily loaded.
Nylon Screw
1. Insert the nylon screws
into the
holes using a hex driver until the screw is flush with the
bottom of the slide rail.

2. Cut off the head of nylon screws by using flush cutting
pliers
or soft hammer and knife
. Remember, the cut must be made
away from the joint, in the direction of chain travel.

3. After the cut, make sure the slide rail surface is smooth
and the nylon screws do not protrude over the slide rail
surface. Use a file
to file off the
protruding edge if uneven surface is found.
