Longer Belt and Chain Life – Trackstar Guides are far slicker than steel or other thermoplastics, resulting in less wear on expensive transfer belts and drive/attachment chains. See the product specifications for details on the coefficient of friction and other properties.

Reduced Wear – Trackstar Guides outwear abrasion-resistant steel by 3 to 1 and PTFE by 5 to 1. UHMW has the highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic for longer guide life, even in abrasive environments.

Modular Design – Trackstar's unique two-piece design simplifies initial installation and facilitates future replacement of UHMW inserts, while allowing for thermal expansion. Mounting channels are available in galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum and can be supplied with pre-punched mounting holes for added convenience.

Precision Machined – All Trackstar Belt and Chain Guides are machined to extremely close tolerances from compression molded sheets. This process results in a higher molecular weight and superior performance than possible with extruded UHMW profiles.

24-Hour Shipment – Most Trackstar Guides are in stock for immediate shipment.
