Large-pitch and heavy-section conveyor chains for demanding material handling where wear, shock, articulation and attachment loading drive the design.
Engineering-to-dutyHeavy conveyor chain should be sized from the conveyor duty rather than selected from tensile strength alone. Share the conveyor arrangement, material being conveyed, chain pull, speed, sprocket data and service conditions so pins, bushes, rollers, plates and attachments can be matched to the duty.
| Parameter | Value / option | Evidence / selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Bushed / roller / welded / engineered | By conveyor duty |
| Pitch | Project-specific | Match sprocket and conveyor |
| Roller style | Flanged / plain / special | By track design |
| Attachment | Welded / bolted / integral | By carrier system |
| Material / treatment | Duty-specific | Wear and shock review |
| Working load | Calculated per application | Not inferred from generic tensile data |
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.
