Component Specifications

Definition
A structural component of overhead conveyor systems designed to suspend, support, and transport loads along a predetermined path. It typically consists of a rigid bar or frame with integrated attachment points for fixtures, hooks, or product carriers, ensuring stable movement through production, processing, or storage areas while maintaining load integrity and alignment.
Working Principle
Operates by attaching to the conveyor chain or trolley system, moving along an overhead track. The load bar/fixture suspends products below it, distributing weight evenly to prevent sway or imbalance during transport. It may include locking mechanisms or adjustable features to secure varying load types, facilitating continuous or intermittent motion as controlled by the conveyor drive system.
Materials
Typically made from carbon steel (e.g., ASTM A36) or stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304/316) for corrosion resistance, with optional galvanized or powder-coated finishes. High-strength alloys may be used for heavy-duty applications. Fasteners and moving parts often include hardened steel or bronze components.
Technical Parameters
  • Width 50-200 mm
  • Height 100-300 mm
  • Length 0.5-3 meters
  • Weight 5-50 kg
  • Adjustability Fixed or adjustable arms/hooks
