Guidelite guide troughs

Cost effective long travel distances up to 150m

As construction kit system for long travels, primarily for low-speed applications with low cycle frequencies. The lower run of the e-chains® is guided in two L-shaped guide rails made from fiberglass-reinforced plastics. The upper run of the e-chain® is partially guided by guide angle-brackets mounted in one-meter intervals. One method to achieve the correct width involves clipping separators (Version 01) between the retainers. This makes the installation very easy, since subsequent adjustments are no longer needed. For an extended width spectrum, there is also the option to mount the guide angle-brackets on a C-rail (Version 02).

Advantages of guidelite:

For applications with low cycle frequencies, low speeds and additional loads
Corrosion resistance: Completely made from plastic components
Cost-effective: Available as construction kit system with e-chain®
Time saving: Easy and quick installation
2 assembly set versions: with crossbar for a fixed width, or with C-profile for an extended width spectrum
