Slide rail and support rail
Introduction
XLCR
The slide rail is attached to the sides of the conveyor
beam to reduce chain friction where the chain would
otherwise be in direct contact with the beam profile. It is
very important that the slide rail is installed properly, so
that the chain can run without disruption.
When the conveyor is to be mounted high above
ground level, it might be easier to mount the slide rail onto
a conveyor section while the conveyor beam is still on the
floor. If doing so, leave an extra end, approximately
300 mm longer than the beam, so that it can be cut off
and adjusted when the beam is finally installed.

1
Start at an idler end unit. Separate the top and bottom
flange of the slide rail at the end of the rail and press
it into place.
2
Make sure that you mount the slide rail so that it snaps
on to the beam. The different types of slide rail do not
look alike, so check which flange should be on top.
3
Use the slide rail mounting tool to press the slide rail
into place. One end of the tool is used when slide rail
is mounted onto only one side of the beam, and the
other end is used when you mount slide rail onto the
second side.
4
Do not forget to mount slide rails both underneath and
on the upper side of the beam (unless top running
chain only).
