Leaf Chain solutions

In addition to supplying individual leaf chains, anchor bolts, blocks and pins, FB Chain offers pre- assembled leaf chain kits that can be issued directly onto assembly lines.

Our leaf chain assembly kits can be tailor-made to suit an OEM’s specific requirements, to address a particular application or assembly need and to ease scheduling and supply-related issues.

In a leaf chain assembly, leaf chain is pre-cut to length (which eliminates chain stock loss) and assembled with individually designed leaf chain anchor bolts and blocks (leaf chain clevises).

• Coatings, lubricants and surface finishes are also applied to all parts according to application.
• Leaf chain and anchors (clevises) can be delivered in temporary protective plastic tubing to reduce chain contamination and assist clean assembly.
• Permanent protection can be provided in the form of heat-shrunk Neoprene applied to specially lubricated chain and is recommended for difficult environments.
• Specific heat treatments, integral bushings or bearings, for example, can all be supplied to specification.
• Complete component packages bring together the whole family of parts required and including items as diverse as composite bushings and nylon stops.
• Other complementary parts can be supplied including mast pulleys (sheaves), chain rollers and mast pivot pins.
