Introduction to Plastic Modular Belts
. As noted earlier, plastic modular conveyors are equipped with plastic sprockets and shafts for drives. A common type is the square bore sprocket in combination with square shafts. These yield improved drive efficiencies by positively transmitting torque to the sprockets. The belt, in turn

Reinvented wheels support heavy loads
or slowing down easier. Additional benefits include less running noise and good damping characteristics. The material's soft exterior makes these wheels particularly suitable for use on concrete, wood, or plastic-coated running surfaces. However, as with the polyamide wheel, consideration must be given

Metal Chains
diameters of 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 in., rated at 15, 25, 40, and 75 lb. Bead-belt chain, a variation of the basic type, consists of plastic beads molded onto a flexible cord. This type can run faster than all-metal chain but does not carry as much load. Detachable: The lightest, simplest
