Attachments are subjected to bending force. If they convey heavy objects, have long jigs installed, or receive side loads, twisting force is added to the bending force. Depending on the application, make sure you consider these forces in your calculations. The shape of the attachment influences the design of the equipment. If slats do not cover the chain rollers, guide rails may be used to support the chain rollers on the return side. 2.3.2 K Attachment This is an attachment made by installing A attachments on both sides of the chain. The attachment is called K-1 or K-2 based on the number of bolt holes on one side. The attachment interval can vary the same as the A attachment (Figure 2.18).
