Steel Sideflex Flat-Top Chains — CC13 to CC30 Series

---

Product Overview

CARPARTNER supplies steel sideflex flat-top chains for conveyor systems that require a flat conveying surface together with lateral curve capability. The supplied catalog page presents CC13, CC14, CC16, CC18, CC24 and CC30 families with CCSA, CCSB and CCSC guide configurations.

The source drawings describe three profile options:

• CCSA: Sideflex chain without tab
• CCSB: Sideflex chain with bevelled guide shoe
• CCSC: Sideflex chain with hold-down tab

The reference table lists a common pitch of 38.1 mm, b2 values from 82.6 mm to 190.5 mm, b1 options of 42 mm and 38.5 mm, and q values from 2.52 kg/m to 5.29 kg/m. Exact chain selection depends on the conveyor width, curve layout, guide system, sprocket and product-retention requirements.

Key Features

• Sideflex conveyor geometry: Designed for conveyor layouts containing curves or lateral transitions.
• Flat conveying surface: The top plate profile provides a continuous flat surface for conveyed products, subject to the selected chain and guide arrangement.
• Three guide configurations: CCSA without tab, CCSB with bevelled guide shoe and CCSC with hold-down tab.
• CC13–CC30 series coverage: Reference families include CC13, CC14, CC16, CC18, CC24 and CC30.
• Common reference pitch: The supplied table shows P = 38.1 mm across the listed configurations.
• Detailed geometry data: The table includes b2, b1, d2, T, d1(max), R(min), H, l1, l2 and α fields.
• Strength and weight fields: The source presents U.T.S., A.T.S. and q values; these are reproduced with their source labels.
• Replacement and custom supply: CARPARTNER can review drawings, samples, chain codes, guide-shoe requirements and conveyor layouts.

Technical Drawing Reference

The corrected technical drawing retains:

• Main chain plate/roller arrangement and side view
• P, b1, d1, d2, R and T drawing labels
• CCSA profile with b2
• CCSB bevelled guide-shoe profile with b2, H, l1 and α
• CCSC hold-down-tab profile with b2, H and l2
• Original bilingual title and CCSA/CCSB/CCSC descriptions

The drawings are for configuration identification. Do not infer unlisted numerical values from the illustration alone.

Technical Parameters

All dimensional values are in mm unless otherwise stated. Strength fields are shown in kN and q in kg/m, matching the source table.

Guide Profile Selection

CCSA — Sideflex Chain Without Tab

Use the CCSA profile where a guide tab or hold-down feature is not required by the conveyor design. Confirm chain clearance, support surfaces and curve tracking from the conveyor drawing.

CCSB — Sideflex Chain with Bevelled Guide Shoe

The CCSB profile includes a bevelled guide-shoe arrangement. Confirm the guide track, shoe angle α, dimensions H and l1, and clearance through the complete curve.

CCSC — Sideflex Chain with Hold-Down Tab

The CCSC profile includes a hold-down tab. It may be selected where the conveyor design requires additional chain retention or guidance, subject to the actual track and product-clearance requirements.

Typical Applications

Public flat-top-chain and sideflex-chain references describe applications including:

• Beverage and bottle conveying
• Food and packaged-product processing
• Canning and packaging lines
• Pharmaceutical and general manufacturing conveying
• Automotive and industrial assembly lines
• Steel and other heavy industrial conveying environments

The source image does not identify one exclusive industry for CC13–CC30. Select the chain according to product handling, conveyor layout, hygiene requirements, load, speed, temperature, chemicals and curve geometry.

Selection Guide

Please provide the following information for an accurate recommendation:

1. Conveyor manufacturer and machine model
2. Chain code or original part number, such as CC16SB or CC24SC
3. Required profile: CCSA, CCSB or CCSC
4. Pitch P and chain width b2
5. Inner width b1, roller/pin dimensions and plate thickness, where applicable
6. Minimum side-flex radius R(min) and curve layout
7. Guide-shoe or hold-down-tab requirements
8. Sprocket tooth count, bore and shaft information
9. Conveyed product type, dimensions, weight and contact surface
10. Operating speed, conveyor direction and working conditions
11. Moisture, washdown, chemicals, dust and temperature exposure
12. Required chain length, strand quantity, destination country and delivery schedule

Do not select a sideflex chain by pitch alone. Guide profile, width, roller/pin geometry, minimum radius, track clearance and sprocket compatibility must be checked together.

Maintenance and Inspection Considerations

Maintenance should follow the conveyor manufacturer’s service instructions and applicable site-safety procedures. General sideflex flat-top chain maintenance should include:

• Checking chain elongation and pitch change over multiple links
• Inspecting plate, pin, roller and hinge/bearing areas for wear
• Checking CCSA/CCSB/CCSC guide features for damage, looseness or interference
• Inspecting guide tracks, wear strips and sprocket alignment
• Monitoring lateral tracking, noise, vibration and product stability through curves
• Removing product debris and buildup that can restrict articulation
• Verifying lubrication compatibility with the conveyed product and cleaning process
• Checking chain tension and avoiding excessive slack or over-tension

Lubricant type, cleaning method, service interval and replacement limit must be confirmed for the actual chain material and conveyor environment. The catalog table does not establish a universal maintenance schedule or allowable working load.

OEM / ODM and Custom Supply

CARPARTNER can review requests based on:

• CC13–CC30 chain code
• CCSA, CCSB or CCSC guide profile
• Original chain sample or clear photos
• Conveyor drawing and curve radius
• Sprocket and track information
• Required chain width, length and strand quantity
• Material or surface requirements stated in an approved specification

For non-standard sideflex flat-top chains, send the original drawing or sample together with conveyor model, product information and operating conditions. We will confirm the configuration, quotation basis and delivery schedule before order confirmation.
