PlateTop and Gripper Chains
Plate Top
1864
Straight running chains with steel top plates, suitable for heavy loads, long distances and high speeds. The chain consists of a base roller chain
with welded on top plates in various steel alloys. The gap between the plates is 1.6 mmwide
963
Straight running chains with plastic overlapping top plates, therefore a uni-directional travel. The continuous surface facilitates stability and eases
operations with unstable products
843
Straight running chains with plastic overlapping top plates, clipped on the protruding pins. Uni-directional travel
1843 TAB
Sideflexing tab chains with plastic top plates. Same construction as 843
1874 TAB
Sideflexing chains with steel “snap-on” top plates to form a continuous flat conveying surface. Hold-down tabs provide positive retention in
curves and inclines. They will be used in abrasive and heavy duty or high-temperature conditions
1873 TAB
Sideflexing chains with plastic top plates; bi-directional travel. Also available with a rubber, anti-slip insert for inclined conveying up to 25°.
The TAB guides permit to continue either from an inclined run to a plain one or vice versa
3873 TAB
Sideflexing chains with plastic top plates for a continuous surface, even in tight radius. Perfect for transport of trays.
The Polycarbonate top plates are extreme resistant against impact
Gripper
1874 TAB
Fitted with steel top plates for abrasive or high-temperature conditions. The base is a standard roller chain Side Bow ANSI 63 SB. The gripper
elements are available as GD (smooth pad) and GJ (grooved pad); as clipped on they are easily replaceable. The clip for the TAB guide is riveted
on the top plate.
1843 TAB
Fitted with thermoplastic top plates for a quieter and smoother operation; these mini-gripper chains enable reduction of plant weight, increase of
conveying speed and dry service. The base is a standard roller chain Side Bow ANSI 43 SB. The clipped on gripper elements are available as GD
(smooth pad) and GJ (grooved pad). These chains are specially suited for conveying ampoules, test tubes and other minute products, such as
small industrial components
1873 TAB
Fitted with thermoplastic top plates for a quieter and smoother operation, enabling reduction of plant weight, increase of conveying speed and
dry service. The base chain is a standard roller chain Side Bow ANSI 63 SB. GSD/GS2J/GS3J grippers are clipped on for easy replacement, GDB/
GJB grippers are resistant to bending and GJM grippers are integrated in the top plate, ideal for packaging applications
The chain description consists of respectively the material, type, a K number for the plate width in inches, a G for grippers and a code indicating the gripper
execution: D for D-style grippers, providing a smooth pad or flat surface; J for grooved path, in some cases combined with the number of gripper fingers per link.
Finally S means a special rubber gripper assembly system, resistant to bending.
Programme
Steel base chains are recommended for dry applications, stainless steel base chains are recommended for wet applications.
