Features and properties of tensioning systems
One pre-tensioned compression spring, tension distance specification in mm
Two pre-tensioned compression springs, tension distance specification in mm
Three pre-tensioned compression springs, tension distance specification in mm
Further adjustment possible: Adjustment range in mm once original tension distance has been used
(value for size 1 and size 2 if using fastening bracket)
Plastic housing
Steel housing
Track profile for all large chains
U profile for chains up to specified overall width in mm
Profile symbols for selection tables
Arc segemt profile
- Slide profile shape with best mechanical properties
- Simultaneous contact with several rollers
- Optimum chain protection
Block profile
- Suitable for particularly heavy chains and high mass forces
- Slide profile and tension core made from a single piece
- No screw connections
- High stability
- 300 mm slide profile ensures support for many rollers for chains with larger chain pitches
Return profile
- Up to 180° change of direction
- For controlling extensive chain lengthening
Semi-circular profile
- For 90° change of direction
- Contact with small number of chain wheels only
- Recommended for small installation spaces
Roller/sprocket
- For small changes of direction
- For high chain speeds (> 1m/s)
