Open-Type Conveyor Guide Rail Clamp
The open-type conveyor guide rail clamp connects the guide-support members in an adjustable rail assembly. Its open gripping form needs to match the actual member section and installed orientation.

Check the open grip with the actual support member. Dimensions of nearby rods or a separate cross clamp do not identify this clamp.
Match the Open Grip to the Support
An open clamp seats around the mating support member and secures its position in the guide assembly. The visible arrangement uses clamps and rods to locate the guide rails above the conveyor beam.
Selection starts with the part being gripped. Include its section shape and the direction in which the clamp must face. Adjacent connectors can look similar while serving different joints, so an overall assembly photograph should accompany the detail view.

Dimensions & Fit
Show the support section at the clamp location and the available gripping length. Mark which connection needs replacement on the assembly photograph.
Check access around the opening and tightening hardware. Leave room for the guide to reach its required lane position without the support contacting the conveyor beam.
Locate Guides Above the Conveyor Beam
In a rod-supported guide arrangement, the clamp holds the relationship between the rail and its supporting members. Moving the guide changes the available product lane while the beam remains fixed beneath it.
A change in pack width can move the clamp close to another bracket. Check clearance at the narrowest and widest operating positions so the guide adjustment remains usable.
