The modular free flow chain conveyor system utilizes a differential chain mechanism enabling pallets to travel at double the chain speed, ensuring efficient and flexible material handling. Featuring standardized aluminum or steel construction, variable-frequency drive systems, and configurable load capacities from 10kg to 1000kg per station, it supports diverse industrial applications including electronics assembly, automotive components, and logistics operations through customizable straight, curved, lift, and transfer modular units.
Modular Free Flow Chain Conveyor System Technical Specifications
I. System Overview
The Modular Free Flow Chain Conveyor System is an automated conveying equipment designed with standardized, modular architecture. Its core feature utilizes the Free Flow Chain (Differential Chain) transmission principle, enabling the pallet carrying workpieces to travel at 2x the chain speed, achieving efficient and flexible material handling. Widely applied in automotive components, electronics, home appliances, and logistics industries for assembly production lines.

Application Scope and Suitable Factory Types for Free Flow Chain Conveyors
I. Core Application Fields
Free flow chain conveyor systems, characterized by accumulation conveying, flexible assembly, and efficient flow, are primarily applied in the following scenarios:
Passenger-car final-assembly slat conveyors are built in steel or plastic versions 600-3500 mm wide, 50-300 m long, driven by geared AC motors with VFDs giving 0.5-30 m/min stepless speed and ±30 mm stop accuracy. Plastic slats are lighter, quieter and support 30 JPH takt, while steel handles heavier loads. Lines are divided into interior, chassis…
A motorcycle plant integrates machining, fabrication, painting and assembly. Engine blocks/heads are milled, bored and honed on 5-axis CNC centers, then die-cast and heat-treated. Tube frames are laser-cut, CNC-bent and welded by robots before e-coat primer and 180 °C bake. Final assembly uses pallet conveyors, servo tire mounters and vacuum brake fillers, achieving 90–120 s…
Multi-axis Servo Tightening Machine for Hub Motors The multi-axis servo tightening machine for hub motors is a high-precision tightening device developed for the assembly scenario of new energy vehicle hub motors. Adopting multi-axis synchronous control technology, it can complete the precise tightening operation of multiple bolts of the hub motor simultaneously. The equipment integrates a…
Conveyor-assisted assembly converts idle handling time into productive work, lifting home-appliance output by 50 % and engine-line utilisation to 95 %. Accurate positioning and RFID pallets cut defects and mix-ups to near zero while saving 30 % floor space and 65 % manual-handling injuries. Modular rollers and magnetically driven tracks allow model change-overs in minutes…
This article details the design and construction of pits and reinforced concrete foundations for conveyor line installation. Pits accommodate drive units, tensioning devices, and maintenance access, with types ranging from shallow trenches to deep excavations requiring ventilation and drainage. Foundation options include spread footings, strip foundations, raft slabs, and pile foundations, selected based on load…
This servo-driven multi-platform synchronous lifting system with worm gear screw jacks is an electromechanical integration solution core-composed of servo motors, worm gear screw jack arrays, and a high-precision synchronous control unit (supporting EtherCAT/Profinet), which converts rotary motion into linear lifting via worm gear transmission and achieves multi-platform synchronization through closed-loop error compensation, with a conventional…
