cromox® master links and sub-assemblies – the high-performance LIFTING accessories

cromox® stainless steel master links and sub-assemblies are manufactured by machine with the utmost precision.

With their corrosion resistance and high-quality surface, they are ideal for use in clean rooms, the food industry, meat processing, the chemical industry, and the pharmaceutical sector. But the oval rings made of stainless steel also impress with their long-term resistance in offshore applications when used in salt water or in pickling plants in contact with acids. cromox® master links are available in "1-leg" and "2-leg" versions and the cromox® sub-assemblies are available in "3-leg" and "4-leg" versions.

All our master links have something in common:

  • Made from 1.4462 Duplex / AISI 318LN stainless steel
  • Optionally with flat point for mounting connecting shackles
  • Correspond to Grade 60 


With the cromox® stainless steel sub-assemblies for chains, we complete our holistic stainless steel product portfolio designed for system solutions.

Corrosion-resistant master links and sub-assemblies offer safety and durability in challenging environmental conditions

The use of corrosion-resistant materials is essential in environments with high corrosion resistance requirements, such as chemical plants, in the maritime or offshore industry or in areas exposed to severe weather conditions. Master links and sub-assemblies made of stainless steel play an important role here, as they ensure the stable and secure suspension of objects.

These components must be made of materials that can withstand these conditions, especially when exposed to high loads, such as chemicals, salt water or high temperatures.

The stainless steel chosen by Ketten Wälder GmbH for the cromox® product line is a material that is particularly suitable for these applications. The alloys with a high chromium and nickel content are particularly noteworthy here. They form a thin but very dense and stable layer of chromium oxide on the surface, which protects the underlying material from corrosion.

When selecting the right material for a sub-assembly or master link, it is important to precisely define the environment and load to which the components will be exposed. This is the only way to ensure safe, reliable, and long-term function.

System solutions for industrial lifting applications – everything from a single source

System solutions in the lifting industry refer to integrated and comprehensive solutions that cover all aspects of lifting operations and are ideally offered by one manufacturer in a coordinated manner. In addition to the lifting equipment itself (such as chains, lifting links and heads, load hooks, connecting links and other lifting points), this can also include the maintenance and repair of these products, training for operators and other services.

The advantage of system solutions ("everything from a single source") is that customers have a single supplier for all their product requirements in relation to lifting operations. Especially when it comes to customised system solutions, it is an advantage to have a single point of contact and manufacturer. The individual components are harmonised with each other. This can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of lifting operations and production processes, reduce the risk of problems or errors, and cut costs.

FAQs

What are master links?

Master links are used to hang objects securely and stably. They can be used in many ways, for example in technology, construction or in various industries (e.g. in clean rooms, in the food industry or in the maritime industry).;

What standards are there for master links and sub-assemblies?

There are several standards and regulations concerning master links and sub-assemblies. General requirements for the design, testing and labelling of master links and heads or specific requirements and test methods for the design and manufacture of master links and heads are defined here.

Important: Not all master links and heads must comply with the same standards. It is important to always consider the specific requirements and standards for the respective application when selecting master links and heads.

cromox® stainless steel master links and heads are manufactured to the highest precision and quality from 1.4462 Duplex / AISI 318LN stainless steel. They correspond to Grade 60 and offer maximum load-bearing capacity and safety in every respect.

What are the advantages of stainless-steel master links and sub-assemblies?

Master links and sub-assemblies made of stainless steel are particularly durable and can therefore be used in environments with high corrosion resistance requirements, such as in chemical plants, in the maritime or offshore industry or in areas exposed to severe weather conditions. They can also withstand particularly high temperatures and retain their stability and function over a long period of time.

cromox® stainless steel master links and sub-assemblies – high quality and stable

Made of high-quality stainless steel, the cromox® master links and heads keep your objects secure and stable. In combination with the comprehensive cromox® LIFTING programme, you can rely on a high-performance and durable system solution.
