LEAF CHAIN

AL Series leaf chains are manufactured to ANSI leaf chain specification dimensions and are considered today's "lighter" duty of leaf chains. AL leaf chains were the first series of ANSI leaf chains and are still used in many lifting applications today due to the space-saving high strength lifting design and nature of this chain. What puts our leaf chain selection in another class of its own is the use of high-strength hardened pins, heat-treated plates, and shot-peened components. The chain is also pre-tensioned at the factory to reduce flex during initial installation. Typically leaf chains are stocked in 10ft boxes, 50ft reels and 100ft reels but we also provide cut to length and custom leaf chains.

Connecting links for DIN ISO 606 duplex roller chains. By Form E, the spring clip must be mounted with the closed end facing the direction of movement. Offset links are required to close the chain if there is an odd number of links. Using offset links reduces the power and tensile strength by 20%.

We supply the European and international market with unalloyed and medium-alloyed chain steel wires from our Iserlohn-Kalthof plant in sizes ranging from 4.0 mm to 25.0 mm.
