Guiding Systems

The Gilbert and Nash Co. has been solving belt tracking problems in a dependable and inexpensive way since 1898. Our guide models help control and prevent the loss of endless flat belts used in various manufacturing processes. Our guiding systems work on a highly sensitive air pressure system that senses out of line movements in the continuous belt and adjusts the belt back to a neutral position, without the use of a complicated actuator that needs continuous maintenance.
