Circular Conveyor Catalogue and Datasheets

Want our Circular Conveyor Catalog and Datasheets?

Author: ShangGong| Published: 16th,Sept  2026| Category: Library-FAQ — FAQ about Circular Motion

The full circular conveyor system catalogue covers the complete range: guideways and rollers, lubrication, arc and toothed rails, track sets, positioning mechanisms, complete loop systems, the modular range, and the engineering data behind selection.

What is in our Circular Conveyor Catalog and Datasheets

Components — linear and arc guideway profiles with dimensions and hole positions, V and T roller dimensions and groove angles, lubrication devices.

Track sets — elliptical, rectangular and S-curve assembly dimensions for every published combination.

Positioning mechanisms — linkage-rod and individual cylinder types with model codes.

Complete lines — model code structure, the three drive types, mounting orientations, and worked configuration examples covering horizontal and vertical, oval, rectangular and round layouts.

Modular range — standard components, V30 and V50 selection tables, arc selection curves.

Engineering data — carrier load limits and the load factor method, service life calculation, conveying capacity curves, slide adjustment procedure with torque and resistance values, commissioning instructions, and a technical selection form.

Where to get TM Circular Conveyor Catalog and Datasheets

The catalogue PDF is in the Download section, filed under the circular conveyor system. It is published open rather than gated.

Individual datasheets for specific configurations are available on request. If you already know the layout and payload, [sending the requirement straight to engineering] is usually faster than working from the catalogue.

How to read the TM Circular Conveyor Catalog and Datasheets

Three readers use the catalogue in three different orders, and none of them is front to back.

A buyer sizing a cell starts at the complete-lines section: model code structure, the three drive types, mounting orientations, and the worked configuration examples. Finding the example closest to the requirement and working outwards from it is faster than selecting each component in turn.

A maintenance engineer needs the components section and the commissioning instructions, and little else. An integrator writing a specification for an end customer usually needs the model code structure and the parameter set, so that the document they issue matches what will actually be built.

If the layout, payload and cycle time are already decided, the technical requirement form is the shortest route of all — it is the same information our engineering team works from.

What the Circular Conveyor Catalog does not answer

Several figures are confirmed per application rather than published, and looking for them in the catalogue is a wasted search:

• whole-machine ingress protection rating — the protection structure is specified against the working environment at quotation
• the maximum process force a positioning mechanism can react before the carrier is pushed off its datum
• payload under vertical mounting, which is not the horizontal figure carried across
• parallelism and synchronisation figures for twin-rail loops
• repeat positioning accuracy for link drive, which the chain and timing belt figures do not cover

These are the values most often filled in from a general assumption and then corrected late. Send the requirement and they come back against your line.

Issues and revisions

The PDF is versioned in its filename, and quotations and drawings reference the issue they were prepared against. That way a reissue does not invalidate work already done from an earlier one.

If a distributor or an end customer is working from an older issue, the figures worth re-checking first are positioning accuracy — which is stated by drive type, not as a single number — and anything in the list above.

Frequently asked questions about TM Circular Conveyor Catalog and Datasheets

Do we need the catalogue before you can quote?

No, and for most enquiries it is the slower route. The catalogue is organised by component, while a quotation is driven by the process: layout, carrier count and pitch, fixture envelope and weight, cycle time, station count and accuracy. If those are known, sending them directly gets a configured layout back with the components already selected. The catalogue earns its place when the requirement is still being formed, or when a specification has to be written before a supplier is chosen.

Can we share the PDF with our own customer?

Yes. It is published open rather than gated, and it is written to be circulated — integrators and distributors pass it to end customers routinely. Two requests: send the current issue rather than a copy held locally for a year, and where you quote positioning accuracy into your own document, carry the drive type with it. A bare accuracy figure with no drive named is the single item most likely to be repeated back to us as a requirement we did not offer.

Are CAD models available?

Models are issued against a configured layout rather than as a downloadable library. Once the line is defined, you receive 3D and 2D drawings of the actual machine — including the frame, the drive position and the fixing pattern — and those are what a cell layout should be built around. A generic model of a standard loop will differ from the line you receive in exactly the details that matter for the layout: drive position, frame envelope and fixing holes.

Does the catalogue include a price list?

No. A line is configured rather than selected, so there is no list to publish — arc diameter, guideway width, carrier count, drive type, positioning mechanism count and frame all move independently. What drives the cost of a circular conveyor system is covered separately in our FAQ library, and the route to a figure is the quotation page.

We are writing a specification for an end customer. What should we copy out?

The model code structure, the configuration parameters and the drive-qualified accuracy figures transfer cleanly. What should not go into a specification unqualified are the values listed under “What the catalogue does not answer” above, because they are confirmed per application and a specification that fixes them in advance can rule out a line that would otherwise suit. Where you need a number for a tender, ask us for it against the described application and we will state it as a supply commitment.
