DIN 763 is a long-link chain that is not a load-bearing product, as it is inferior to short-link chains in terms of load capacity, it is considered a general purpose chain. The chain has long links that provide greater strength and reliability compared to chains with short links. A long link chain consists of a number of links that are connected by overlapping teeth.
DIN 763 fastening group
DIN 763 chains are most often made of stainless steel and belong to the non-rusting fastening group.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 763 chains
DIN 763 chains are made of the following materials:
- Steel, which can optionally be coated with zinc. Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fastener is to be used in aggressive environments
- Stainless steel. Steel grade A4 allows the fastener to be used in conditions of significant temperature fluctuations and in aggressive and humid environments.
Areas of application for DIN 763 chains
The use of a long link chain includes cargo operations such as lifting, towing, securing loads, and others. Also, this type of chain is used as an auxiliary element in various industrial processes, for example, to fasten moving parts in mechanisms or to create connections between various structural elements. Long link chain can be connected to other fasteners, such as carabiners, lashing hooks and others, to create more complex systems for securing and transporting goods.
