German term or phrase: Seitenbegrenzung
Aus einer technischen Beschreibung. Leider keine Abbildung verfügbar, da ich nichts geeignetes im Netz gefunden habe. Gemeint ist ein seitliches Metallteil (eine Art Seitenwange, freie, d. h. unregelmäßig geformte, Form, also keine gerade Schiene o. ä.), welches das Abwandern des Förderbands (und der darauf befindlichen Produkte) nach rechts oder links verhindern soll. Edge, rail oder bar erscheinen mir ungeeignet wegen der freien Form...

Wäre für Ideen sehr dankbar.

Side barrier
Explanation:
Another option, which clearly denotes the idea of preventing items from falling off the conveyor belt. 'Barrier' is a relatively loose term that can be in any shape/form.

belt-guide


Explanation:
is my offering, I don't think you need the "side", as it is would go without saying for a conveyor belt, IMO

conveyor cheek


Explanation:
Not my field, but found this

Every segment of a conveyor line (1) is provided on both sides with a conveyor cheek (7) as the lateral border. Conveyor belts (4) driven by wheels are mounted on the inner sides of the conveyor cheeks on vertically movable boards

Könnte conveyor guard in Betracht kommen?

Conveyor guard safety netting can run below a conveyor and can also protect items from falling off the sides of the conveyor.[2

Asker: Thanks for your help, Wendy, but all 170 or so Google hits for "conveyor cheek" quote from one single patent only.
