881 Series 881 Series Available Materials: • Specialty Stainless Steels • 300 Series Stainless Steel • Featuring ground surface finish Side-flexing chains create possibilities to convey products around corners without the use of turntables or dead-plates. All 881 chains require a welded guide shoe on the underside of the chain to provide a method of hold down in the guide track. Without these “shoes” the chain would have a tendency to lift when operating in the curve under load. Guide shoes are available in two forms: • Bevel: Utilize an 8° dovetail which provides a simple but effective anti-lift device. • TAB: Utilize a positive retention shoe which fits into a T profile guide slot. Ideal for heavier loads. NOTE: Following the welding operation, 881 chains often have slight heat distortion and the appearance of unsightly weld marks on the top plate surface. In order to restore the top plate to the ultimate in flatness and smoothness. 881 chains receive a unique grinding and polishing operation to restore the top plate’s smooth surface finish (within 24 Micro inches).
