880M Magnetic Side Flexing Chain
The 880M is a magnetic side-flexing chain with solid POM plates. It is selected with a magnetic guide track that holds the chain against the carrying path through the curve.
- Pitch
- 38.1 mm / 1.5 in
- Plate Widths
- 82.6 / 114.3 mm
- Retention Type
- Magnetic-track arrangement
Confirm the chain and magnetic track as a pair. A matching top width alone does not establish the required retention or running clearance.
Matching Sprocket
For 880-series chains. Confirm the tooth count and shaft opening.

Review Magnetic Retention Beneath the Plate
The 880M uses the guide-track arrangement to retain the chain as the lane turns. The product rides on the POM plates above that track. Magnetic retention concerns the chain's position; product side guides remain necessary to control the container path.
K325 and K450 differ in carrying width, mass and side-flex radius. Both list a 75 mm backflex radius. Keep the horizontal bend and return geometry separate when reviewing the conveyor layout.

Dimensions & Fit
Supply the existing magnetic-track reference or section drawing. Compare its seating profile and clearance with the actual 880M chain.
Use 500 mm for the listed K325 side-flex radius and 610 mm for K450. Check the return path against the 75 mm backflex figure. Magnetic holding requirements must be assessed for the actual route and duty.
Retain a Container Chain Through a Curve
A magnetic-track chain arrangement is relevant where a curved bottle or can lane needs retention beneath the top plates. The track controls the chain while the side rails guide products above it.
Cleanliness of the running path and the condition of the track affect the chain's seating. Include inspection access around the curved section when planning the line. No magnetic holding-force figure is implied by the model designation.
