10. The allowable load of standard A attachment. There are eight A attachments under each pallet. Assume that four attachments receive the load equally. The load on the A attachments = 4,900 N. According to the catalogs, RF12 (basic series) or stronger is acceptable. 11. Taking into account the tension, the allowable roller load, and the allowable load for standard A attachments, RF26250-R (general series) or RF12250-BR (roller bearing) may be selected. 12.

The process is straightforward and logical. And you can see that a bear- ing roller conveyor chain, because it has lower friction, allows you to use a smaller chain and a smaller motor.
