Artos Stenter Chain With Copper Slider
Artos oil-free guide chain built with copper sliders and PEEK bushes.
Product Overview
A chain for Artos stenter frames with oil-free guide, built with copper sliders and high quality bearings. It consists of connectors, U-shaped connectors, pins, PEEK bushes, PEEK dust cover screws, wear sleeves and other components, all of which we also sell separately.
The slider is the part that rides the guide rail, so its material decides how the chain behaves on the track. Copper conducts heat away and is forgiving of a rail that is not perfectly smooth, which is why it is still the choice on many older Artos frames.
Key Benefits
- Copper sliders tolerate rail imperfections better than harder materials
- PEEK bushes give long life between pin and chain
- High quality bearings with long service life at competitive cost
- Built specifically for Artos oil-free guide frames
Who It Is For

Problems It Solves
- Chain sliders wearing quickly on a rail that is no longer perfectly smooth
- Bush wear between pin and chain letting the chain run loose
- Artos chain parts being hard to source individually
Application Scenarios

- Chain renewal on older Artos machines
- Plants wanting to keep the original slider material specification

Comparison With Other Options
Copper sliders against PEEK sliders: copper conducts heat and copes better with a rail that has surface defects, but it wears faster and needs grease. PEEK is self-lubricating and lasts longer on a good rail. If your rail is due for attention, copper is the safer choice until it is done.
Use Guide
Inspect the guide rail before choosing slider material
Fit complete sections rather than individual links
Clean the guide and chain at least once a year
Add a high temperature grease such as DuPont, Miller or Kluber
Measure slider thickness at each service to track wear rate
