Metal Selection

• Steel: Plated steel is the standard fastener material for most applications. Plating helps combat mild corrosion.

• Stainless 300 Series: Provides extra resistance to abrasion, magnetic attraction, and corrosion from acids and other chemicals.

• RustAlloy®: Low chrome, stainless steel alloy that resists corrosion due to acidic mine water or other chemical attacks.

Hinge Pin Selection

• A wide selection makes it easy to match hinge pins to the needs of the application.

• Bare Armored Cable: Heavy-duty, long-wearing pin popular in underground mining applications. Armor wrapping protects interior wires.

• Bare Armored Stainless Steel Cable: The same advantages as bare armored cable plus corrosion resistance.

• Nylon Covered Armored Cable: Combines durable armored steel wrap with a nylon covering for smooth operation and long service life. Nylon covering prevents pin migration. Not recommended in wet, abrasive applications.

Hinge Pin Selection

• Nylon Covered Steel Cable: Nylon covering prevents pin migration. Not recommended in wet, abrasive applications. For R2 and R5 only.

• Nylon Covered Stainless Steel Cable: For greater corrosion resistance. Not recommended in wet, abrasive applications. For R2 and R5 only.

• Bare Steel Cable: Recommended for abrasive or gritty material conveyance.

• Bare 300 Series Stainless Steel Cable: For conditions where corrosion attacks steel pins. For R2 and R5 only.
