D-style gripper inserts on a 1873-type base chain for rigid packs, cartons and container bodies requiring a broad contact face.
Market-reference profileUse this configuration when the conveying task needs a broad side-contact pad rather than a fingered insert. Grip force depends on product stiffness, opposing-chain spacing, wear state and insert compound, so the final insert and chain construction are selected from application data rather than a generic load claim.
| Parameter | Value / option | Evidence / selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Reference pitch | 19.05 mm / 0.75 in | Market benchmark |
| Reference chain width | 95.3 mm / 3.75 in | Market benchmark |
| Reference pad hardness | 73 Shore A class | Market benchmark |
| Travel | Straight / radius depending base chain | Confirm conveyor path |
| Insert color | Black / custom option | Subject to material and quantity |
| Sprocket interface | ANSI 60-1 class reference | Verify existing sprocket before replacement |
Do not select a gripper or attachment chain from tensile strength alone. Fit depends on sprocket engagement, pitch, width, attachment location, product contact geometry, conveyor path, lubrication and environmental conditions. For replacement work, a dimensioned sample or drawing is preferred.
Pair the gripper or conveyor chain with the correct base chain, attachments and sprocket where the application requires it.
Market-reference profileA 3/4 in pitch gripper-chain platform for incline, decline and side-grip conveying layouts. Final insert geometry, material and sprocket interface are confirmed against your conveyor drawing or sample.
