RUD universal chain connector UKS
One connector for all conveying tasks with round link chains
The new RUD chain connector UKS is versatile in combination with the round steel link chain and replaces the connectors RSP, VK and FL. This means less storage for you and a reduction in your total cost of ownership. Easy and quick installation by a single person significantly reduces downtime caused by installation or repair of all types of conveyors. The application hardness of the UKS connector corresponds to the quality R80 to R160. The increased tooth cross sections (and the splitting of the cross section of the connecting teeth) serve for a safe power transmission. To avoid damage when driving over the sprockets, the lock shape of the chain link width has been adjusted.
Application areas of the chain connector UKS
• Vertical Conveyors (e.g. bucket elevators)
• Horizontal Conveyors (e.g. scraper conveyors for de-ashing or other applications)
• For multipurpose use in Round Link Chains
• Replacing VK, RSP, FL
