Product description
DX Emergency links zinc-plated are ideal fasteners for connecting trade chains. The emergency link, also called 'quicklink' or quick release, can be pinched shut, allowing a connection to be made quickly.
Technical information
- DX Emergency links zinc-plated are made of steel and then galvanised
- Available in material thicknesses 3 to 8 mm and 10 mm
Application advice
- Safety comes first when emergency switches are used.
- The location and manner in which the emergency link is used are important aspects that must be taken into account
- The characteristics of the chain in which the emergency link is used must also be taken into account when considering safety
- For safe application, the Working Load Limit (WLL) may not be exceeded under any circumstances.
- The stated WLLs apply to straight load and static use and are applicable to new and unused products used under normal conditions
- Due to the action of external factors such as wear, weather, overload, etc., regular inspection at least every 6 months is a requirement
- This according to the safety standards applicable in the country of use
- DX Emergency switches in combination with commercial chains are not suitable for hoisting purposes and personal protection
Alternative
Another solution for connecting commercial chains is the DX emergency link where a quick connection can be made by means of a screw closure.
