Single-strand chain for all application areas
Single-strand chains
Fork link chains as single-strand chains are supplied in pitches between 102 and 315 mm and are always customised and individual solutions. The fork links we used are forged in our own production at the Branscheid Umformtechnik GmbH & Co. KG in Gevelsberg.
Alongside their short and low-cost transport routes, our fork links are characterised by particularly good material properties. The drop-forged steel and optimum utilisation of the fibre orientation give the links a very high tensile strength and make them particularly robust.
The best single-strand chains
Depending on the application area, fork link chains need to be adapted to the respective requirement. We know which type is suitable for your industry and we will find the perfect solution. Standard is no good? Then let's develop your individual product together.

Technical data & specifications
We never shy away from a challenge
Acid-resistant
Corrosion-resistant
Highly heat-resistant
Abrasion-resistant
We have a flash butt welding machine with an integrated deburring device to optimise the welded joint between the fork link and the driver. The flash butt-welding process is a computer-controlled welding process with parameter logging. Any impairment of the chain link due to uneven preheating is ruled out. The result is a homogeneous material structure and a unit between fork link and driver. We also make use of the possibilities of autogenous and inert gas welding. For use in particularly abrasive environments and for a long service life, we reinforce our chain links with high-strength armoured wire.
