Suspension conveyor sliding frame parameter detailed type and selection guide

🤔 Why does your conveyor line always lag? It's 80% because you didn't choose the right slider!

Brothers who are new to the industry must have encountered: the chain clicks, the cargo wobbles, the track wears out fast ...... Don't rush to scold the equipment vendor!The problem with the 90% is that the frame is a "little transparent".The first thing I want to do is to make sure that you have the right choice. Today let's break off and talk about - how to choose the sliding frame of the suspension conveyor in the end not to step on the pit!

🧩 First, what is the slide frame? Simply put, it is the "joints" of the conveyor line.

Imagine this: the chain is the spine, the track is the runway, theThe frame is the "knee" that connects the bones to the track.. It has to carry the weight of the cargo as well as carry the chain in nimble turns and climbs. Page 2 puts it bluntly:

The sliding frame is a special part of the suspension conveyor, which organically connects the conveyor chain, track and conveyed objects.

​There are just two core functions.​

1. ​Unloaded slide frame: To act as a "toolman", specialised in holding the chain so that it doesn't sag (like a sleeper under a train track).
2. ​Load Slider: True man! Directly lifting the cargo for the entire run (equivalent to the hook arm of a crane)

⚠️ Here's a newbie mistake.Think more sliders are better? Big mistake!​

• Web page 6 clearly says: When the distance between load sliders is more than 0.8 metres, the middle must be added with an unloaded slider to prevent sagging.
• ​The Golden Formula: Slider spacing = (4~16) × chain pitch (e.g. 100mm chain, spacing 400-1600mm)

📏 Second, the parameters of the detailed explanation: read the 7 letters, selection is not blind

Is it confusing to look at the parameter list given by the manufacturer? Let's take the XT100 Load Slider from Page 2 as an example:

​Vernacular Interpretation.​

• ​A (orbital adaptation value): Equivalent to a "shoe size", it must fit the I-beam track perfectly (e.g. A=120mm with 12cm track).
• ​B&C (support span): Like the length of a stretcher, it determines how heavy a load can be carried.
• ​D (connection bit thickness): The "slot" for inserting the chain is too thin and prone to chipping (page 9 states that the XT100 has a permissible load of 250kg).

💡Focused Reminder.​

​Limit load ≠ safe load!For example, page 3 mentions that a frame is labelled with a 500kg limit, but the actualThe safety value has to be discounted(250kg) - Overloaded? Wait for it to fall apart!

🔧 III. Type showdown: empty/loaded/heavy, which one to use?

Don't be fooled by the name! The three types of sliding frames are essentially "different jobs for different workers":

​Take a real case.::
An automotive factory used XT100 load sliders on the paint line, and the roller bearings melted when they passed through the high-temperature baking tunnel! LaterSwitch to open roller skids(unsealed bearings), the life span is directly doubled -Open construction is a must for high temperature scenarios!(web page 3/8 actual hammer)

🧭 Fourth, the selection of four steps: the white man turned into an old driver in seconds

Remember the mnemonic."Look at the working conditions, look at the goods, calculate the spacing and match."​

1. ​Operating conditions determine life and death​

   • High temperature zone? →Open roller skate(Page 8 emphasis added)
   • Wet/corrosive environments? →Stainless steel + sealed rollers​
   • Frequent start-stop? →Heavy duty + reinforced connecting plate​

2. ​Cargo counting loads​
   Page 9 has given a warning:

   The XT100 frame is labelled with a 500kg ultimate load, but theSafety value of only 250kg​
   ​Formula: Actual load ≤ Permissible load × 0.8(Allow 20% margin for impact protection)

3. ​The spacing is mysterious.​
   Page 7 cases counted:

   • Workpiece size 400 x 300mm → 800mm pitch selected
   • Large pieces 1200 x 280mm → jumps 1600mm pitch
     ​⚠️ Never do a passability check!Not enough turning radius? Cargo Crash Rack Warning!

4. ​Chain track matching​
   Lesson in blood: XT75 chainHard Plug XT100 Slide RackWhat? Resulting in the chain banging around in the slot! Must keep that in mind:
   ​Frame Model = Chain Model(XT75/100/160 to the right)

💎 EXCLUSIVE INSIGHT: Three Hidden Pitfalls That Manufacturers Will Never Tell You About

1. ​Parameter table catnipSome manufacturers use "extreme loads" as a selling point.The actual safety value is hidden in the small print(e.g. 250kg for 500kg)
2. ​Installation of anti-human: Some of the sliding frames require special spanners.The workshop master cursed while loading--Watch the installation video before selecting a model!
3. ​fitness black hole: The number is called "universal", but when you change the track, it gets stuck...Be sure to take samples for fitting!​

🌟 And finally, a word of truth.

This thing, the slide frame, looks like a lump of iron, but in actuality it'sThe "Invisible Heart" of the Conveyor Line. The factory next door saved $300,000 in repairs last year by swapping the XT75 for an XT100 slider -Parameters eaten thoroughly can really save lives and money!(Specific case page 9 can be seen) Next time the selection of type, remember to dump this article to the procurement: "according to this, can not be wrong!" 🚀
