Grip chains with wear-resistant, corrosion-proof clamping elements are used for gripping, pulling and transporting thin-walled materials with large surface areas. Sensitive materials such as plastic film packaging, thin sheet metal, plastics and other hard sheet materials require careful handling to prevent damage during transport, positioning, feeding, pulling in or out, stamping, welding, filling, laminating, cutting, stretching, forming or sealing.
iwis grip chains with clamping elements provide an optimal feed of materials. The special pivoting gripper mechanism ensures high-precision handling and precise positioning of the conveyed material by secure clamping. Variable spring forces allow gentle clamping of a wide variety of materials. Chain and clamping elements are corrosion-protected, wear-resistant and treated with food-grade initial lubricant as standard.
In most case the roller chain type is often stamped on the outer link plate; for example, 50 if ANSI or 10B if BS size. The first digits refer to the pitch of the chain and vary according to the series chain, series of links, usually of metal, joined together to form a flexible connector for various purposes, such as holding, pulling, hoisting, hauling, conveying, and transmitting power.
