Stainless roller and conveyor chain configurations for humid, washdown, chemical-contact or cleanliness-sensitive environments where ordinary carbon steel may be unsuitable.
Material-selectedStainless is not one universal grade or load rating. Selection should consider corrosion chemistry, temperature, lubrication restrictions, wear pairing, load and the mating sprocket. Exact alloy and heat-treatment route are confirmed in the quotation.
| Parameter | Value / option | Evidence / selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Chain type | Roller / conveyor / attachment chain | By application |
| Pitch | ISO / ANSI families | Confirm existing standard |
| Material | Stainless grade selected by duty | Quote-controlled |
| Attachments | K / M / extended pin / custom | By drawing |
| Lubrication | Dry / food-compatible / standard options | Specify requirement |
| Load rating | Depends on grade and construction | Confirmed per final design |
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.
