The structure of an eye link metal conveyor belt consists of eye links, which are pieces of wire that have ends that have an eye shape. Eye link metal conveyor belts are assembled by attaching the eye ends of the wire to rods that run through the middle of the eye. Included in the structure are plate links that are small flat plates that are rounded on their ends with holes punched close to the rounded ends through which rods are placed. The plates transfer the load to supports and are positioned evenly across the span of the eye link belt. As with several forms of metal conveyor belts, eye link conveyor belts come in several forms, which are differentiated by their structure and method of manufacturing. The different types of eye link metal conveyor belts are welded, pressed, full, with springs wrapped around the rod, and with bushings and washers that separate the eye links on the rod. Side finishings include welded edges, chain edges, guide plate edges, plastic block edges, and edge plates.
