RUD universal chain lock UKS One lock for all transportation and conveying tasks with the round steel chain/link chain The new UKS universal chain lock can be used in combination with the round steel chain/link chain for a wide range of conveyor applications, replacing the RSP, VK and FL chain locks. This means lower storage costs for you and a reduction in your total cost of ownership. The quick and easy installation by a single person significantly reduces downtime during installation or repair of all types of conveyors. The case hardness of the UKS chain lock corresponds to grades R80 to R160, while the increased tooth cross-sections (and the pitch of the cross-section of the connecting teeth) ensure reliable power transmission. To prevent damage when the sprockets are driven over, the lock shape has been adapted to the chain link width. Areas of application & advantages of the UKS chain lock Areas of application - Vertical conveyors (e.g. elevators / bucket elevators) - Horizontal conveyors (e.g. scraper conveyors for ash removal or other applications) - For multi-purpose use in round steel chains - Instead of the square lock VK, the space-saving lock RSP and the flat lock FL - Pocket wheels and sprockets Advantages - Quick and easy installation by one person - Insert hardness corresponds to the qualities R80-R160 - Fits RUD pocket and chain wheels - Improved design of the teeth to prevent breakage - It is no longer necessary to observe a tightening torque - One connector for all transport tasks with round steel chains/link chains in conveyor technology→ This means less stockholding & fewer order numbers in purchasing - Easier and faster installation → This means less downtime when installing and repairing all types of conveyors - No mandatory mounting direction as the UKS universal chain lock runs over pocket and chain wheels - Reduces your total cost of ownership Technical data RUD Fördertechnik - Plant & mechanical engineering RUD Fördertechnik - Anlagen & Maschinenbau offers you a wide range of systems, equipment and solutions for your application. We design and manufacture elevators, continuous conveyors, chain conveyors, bucket elevators or scraper chain conveyors, preferably based on round steel chains as a means of traction. If required, we also use link chains and belts. Our engineers have a broad background knowledge and support you as a competent partner in solving your individual conveying task. On request, RUD Service will visit you on site and support you with the installation, conversion or maintenance of your system/machine.

RUD chain lock VK RUD chain lock VK (square) offers perfect properties for use in your complete system (conveyor technology) with heavy-duty operating conditions. For optimum operation, combine the VK chain lock with the RUD round steel chain/link chain. Areas of application & advantages of the VK chain lock Areas of application - For use in single and multi-strand conveyors - For heavy-duty operating conditions Advantages - Extremely robust - High wear volume - Runs only over sprockets and smooth guide rollers Technical data RUD Fördertechnik - Plant & mechanical engineering RUD Fördertechnik - Anlagen & Maschinenbau offers you a wide range of systems, equipment and solutions for your application. We design and manufacture elevators, continuous conveyors, chain conveyors, bucket elevators or scraper chain conveyors, preferably based on round steel chains as a means of traction. If required, we also use link chains and belts. Our engineers have a broad background knowledge and support you as a competent partner in solving your individual conveying task. On request, RUD Service will visit you on site and support you with the installation, conversion or maintenance of your system/machine.

The RUD chain lock FL The RUD FL chain lock (flat lock) is used in single and multi-strand conveyors in the field of conveyor technology. For optimum running, combine the FL chain lock with the RUD round steel chain/link chain. Runs over sprockets, grooved rollers (type A and B) and flat guide rollers (type C). Areas of application & advantages of the FL chain lock Areas of application - For medium to heavy-duty operating conditions - For use in single and multi-strand conveyors Advantages - Simple hammer assembly - Highly wear-resistant - Installation dimensions approx. according to chain link size - Runs over toothed chain wheels and pocket wheels, grooved rollers and flat deflection rollers Technical data RUD Fördertechnik - Plant & mechanical engineering RUD Fördertechnik - Anlagen & Maschinenbau offers you a wide range of systems, equipment and solutions for your application. We design and manufacture elevators, continuous conveyors, chain conveyors, bucket elevators or scraper chain conveyors, preferably based on round steel chains as a means of traction. If required, we also use link chains and belts. Our engineers have a broad background knowledge and support you as a competent partner in solving your individual conveying task. On request, RUD Service will visit you on site and support you with the installation, conversion or maintenance of your system/machine.

RUD DOMINATOR The RUD mining lock DOMINATOR (flat lock) can be installed vertically and horizontally in round steel chains/link chains in underground mining without surface hardening with a coating for maximum strength. RUD DOMINATOR offers a robust & torsion-free design and high reliability underground. More safety for your mining operation! RUD DOMINATOR locks are used especially in planer chains according to DIN 22252 and horizontally as repair locks in flat top chains according to DIN 22255. RUD chain locks are regarded worldwide as the benchmark in the industry and are used by leading mining companies. Areas of application & advantages of the RUD DOMINATOR Areas of application - High-performance mining operations - As high-performance conveyors underground - Single-strand and multi-strand conveyors - Especially in planer chains according to DIN 22252 - Horizontally as a repair lock in flat top chains according to DIN 22255 Advantages - Highly wear-resistant - Installation dimensions according to chain link size - Runs vertically via sprockets, grooved rollers and flat deflection rollers - Can run vertically via pocket wheels - In exceptional cases, horizontal operation is also possible (see picture below).
