Chain slides

Chain slides are mounted on a tensioner arm instead of a sprocket. They press against the chain with a sliding surface and have no bearings or rotating parts.

Chain slides - quiet running without lubrication or maintenance

A simple design means fewer parts that could fail - the slide needs no lubrication or maintenance. It runs quietly and guides the chain gently, and replacing it is quick and inexpensive. It performs well in packaging machines, conveyors and agricultural machinery at moderate chain speeds.
