About this component
A horizontal bend takes the run around a machine, a column or a corner of the building while the product stays on the same chain. Nothing is handed over, so nothing has to be handed over correctly.
Plane bends use a machined bend plate; wheel bends use a wheel at the corner to reduce chain pull on tight radii and long runs. Which one applies is a function of radius, chain and load.
Standard angles are stocked, with intermediate angles available where a layout does not land on a convenient number.
Why it is built this way
- Run turns without a transfer point
- Wheel bends reduce chain pull on long runs
- Standard and intermediate angles
- Bolts into the run on the standard beam interface
