Description

LEAF CHAINS from ABS are specifically designed for lifting and load-bearing applications where durability and reliability are essential. Made from high-strength steel, these chains excel in applications that require repeated lifting, lowering, or tensioning. With a simple yet robust pin and link construction, leaf chains provide excellent resistance to fatigue, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding conditions. These chains are commonly used in industries such as material handling, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing, where precise load control and durability are critical.

Features

  • High-strength steel links and pins: Designed to handle high loads and repeated tensioning without compromising durability.
  • Fatigue resistance: Optimized for applications involving repeated lifting and lowering, such as hoisting systems and conveyors in industrial environments.
  • Customizable sizes and configurations: Available in various sizes and link configurations to meet the specific needs of different industries.
  • Low maintenance: Built to withstand high wear environments with minimal need for maintenance.
  • Precision design: Pin and link construction ensures smooth operation and resistance to fatigue under repeated stress.

Industrial Applications:

  • Mining: In mining, Leaf Chains are employed in equipment like mine hoists and underground conveyors, where they must handle the lifting of large volumes of raw materials such as ore and coal. Their high tensile strength and fatigue resistance make them ideal for environments where repeated lifting under heavy loads is constant.
  • Cement Industry: In cement plants, Leaf Chains are used in bucket elevators and hoisting systems for transporting heavy and abrasive materials like limestone, clinker, and other raw materials. Their robust design ensures reliability under constant load cycling and the harsh, dusty conditions typical in cement production.
  • Steel Manufacturing: In steel mills, Leaf Chains are utilized in material handling systems for moving large steel components and machinery. These chains are crucial in environments with high temperatures and heavy loads, offering strength and durability in applications like furnace loading systems and coil handling.
  • Automotive Industry: In the automotive sector, Leaf Chains play a key role in lifting and handling systems, such as those in assembly lines, vehicle lifting hoists, and automated material transport systems. Their simple design ensures smooth, reliable operation under repeated lifting cycles.
  • Renewable Energy: Leaf chains are used in the construction and maintenance of wind turbines, especially in lifting equipment for assembling heavy turbine components. Their high resistance to fatigue ensures long-lasting performance in such high-tension applications.
  • Sugar Industry: These chains are used in sugar mills for lifting and conveying systems, particularly in the processing of sugar cane and bagasse. Their strong resistance to abrasion and ability to handle fibrous, high-wear materials make them an essential part of sugar industry operations.
  • Food & Beverage Industry (F&B): In the F&B industry, Leaf Chains are used in material handling and packaging systems, especially in high-speed conveyors and hoisting systems. Their ability to handle loads with precision and durability ensures efficient operations, while complying with hygiene and safety standards.
