Curved Chain Guides
![](/v/vspfiles/assets/images/curved_chain_guide_main.jpg) The purpose of utilizing a curved chain guide is to successfully transmit energy within a system around a certain degree or angle, in many systems this poses to be a challenge with wear and friction. With the use of our specific curved guides and side-flexing chains, you can transport products around a radius with minimal friction and energy consumption. Curved chain guides are manufactured to a specific radius and are commonly found in applications that are using side-flexing table-top chains, conveyor chains, and roller chains. We supply curved chain guides in a range of UHMW, MD, and Teflon material types depending on the requirements of the application. Material Maximum Speed Ratings:
- UHMW - 100 fpm
- BLACK REPRO UHMW - 100 fpm
- BLUE UXC - 350 fpm
- P-UHMW OIL FILLED - 300 fpm
- MD MOLY FILLED NYLON - 150 fpm
