Leaf Chain Light Series LL Type

• Leaf chains generally have greater tensile strength than roller chains, and run over sheaves rather than sprockets.

• They are most often used as counterweight chains for machine tools, elevator and oven doors, fork lift truck masts, spinning frames and similar lifting or balancing applications.

• LL Series leaf chain – European type, light series (ISO 4347 and DIN 8152) For this series, the dimensions of roller chains according to DIN 8187 are used.

•When the chain speed exceeds 30M./min, and/or, the number of operations (reciprocations) exceeds 1,000 times/day, wear problems may happen. In these cases, Roller Chain is recommended - not leaf chain.

• As usually, we do not supply leaf chain with connecting link. It is used connecting pin to connect leaf chain.

• The leaf chain can be mounted with plastic guides to prevent wear of the hydraulic cylinders on forklift.
