Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0138117A2] A tenter frame that is free from lubrication requirements along the tenter frame guide rails is disclosed. The tenter frame includes a pair of parallel, relatively spaced guide rails including one or more bearing surfaces. A chain is operatively associated with the guide rails for movement therealong and includes a plurality of links having one or more bearing surfaces that are generally complementary to the bearing surfaces of the guide rails. A block of low friction polymer material is attached to one or more of the link bearing surfaces and is sandwiched between the bearing surface portions of the guide and the links. The block is comprised of low friction polymer material and is substantally the only contact between the link and the guide, so that the tenter frame is free from lubrication requirements.
