Carryway wearstrips or rollers that engage the tabs are only required at the transition between horizontal sections and angled sections. Use a carryway radius design at this transition.
Ensure that adequate lead-in radii and/or angles are used to prevent the possibility of snagging the tab on the frame.
The 0.16 in (4.1 mm) tab is available in both Flat Top and Flush Grid styles. The 0.35 in (8.9 mm) tab is available with a Flat Top style. The top of this tab sits 0.04 in below the top of Flat Top belts and is level with the top of Flush Grid belts.
Hold down tabs do not work with 2.1 in (53 mm) and 3.1 in (79 mm) pitch diameter sprockets. 3.5 in (89 mm) pitch diameter sprockets can be used with a 1.5 in (40 mm) square bore.
A minimum of 2.7 in (69 mm) is required between tabs to accommodate 1 sprocket.
