Tapered Guard
Our tapered machine guards are industrial chain guards or belt guards that safely cover drives that have different sized sheaves or sprockets.
Tapered Guards
Tapered flanged guards cover belt or chain drives with different sized sheaves or sprockets. The backplate covers the back of the machine guard, which can be attached to guards through holes or brackets made through the flange. Note: MGC normal manufacturing policy does not include cutting holes for shafts or making brackets for mounting. This can be done on special orders.

How do we set up an account?
We need to see three good credit references. You can speed up the process by sending credit references with or before an initial order. Our standard terms are net 30 days upon approval of credit references. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover cards.
What kind of prints or drawings do you need to tool a custom part?
We have made tools from simple hand drawn sketches, and still can for simple projects. For more complex projects we prefer working with solid models in IGES or STEP format.
Are your guards OSHA approved?
OSHA does not approve guards. Our guards and other products, if installed correctly, meet OSHA requirements for most applications. For more information see OSHA Machine Guarding Standards.
