Abstract
The invention refers to a conveyor track with rollers for transport goods—in particular to a track with small-diameter rollers for workpiece carriers—provided, seen in the conveying direction, with multiple, consecutively arranged, braced support rollers which are a component of a side bar and bolt-equipped roller chain, whose bolts jut out sideways over the side bars and on which conveyor track support elements that proceed in the conveying direction are supported, and where the support rollers jut out over the side bars and the support elements in the direction of the transport goods. In order to create a conveyor track with transporter rollers, in particular a track with small-diameter rollers for workpiece carriers, as well as a roller chain which—basically—allows a constructural simplification of the roller placement in the conveyor track, it is proposed that the bolts of the roller chain be supported directly by the support element or directly via intermediate elements placed on the support element.
