(2) Working conditions

In case of the following working conditions, reduce the working load limit to 80% to use the chain

sling.

Multiply the actual load by 1.25 to select.

▪ Work that is carried out with high frequency or when the working load is applied continuously

▪ Work in which vibration is applied continuously

▪ Usage by incorporation in an automatic line

(3) When the chain comes into contact with the corner Contact with sharp edge during direct slinging

When the corner radius of the suspended load is smaller than the chain diameter,

be sure to apply a pad and reduce the working load limit to 70%

Multiply the actual load by 1.43 to select.

■ When using the chain sling in a high-temperature environment and the corner radius of the

suspended load is smaller than the chain diameter, multiply by respective increase rates to reduce

the working load limit.

<Selection example>

Select the chain size, naming as an example the standard sling type mentioned in the catalog.

(See the catalog for the outer shape of the sling.)

Standard sling type: Double-leg sling D-VD-VSN Slinging with hooks, double legs

Actual load: 2.5 t

Angle of loading: 90°

Ambient temperature: Normal temperature

High-frequency use: Multiply the actual load by 1.25 2.5 x 1.25 = 3.125 t

The chain diameter of 10 mm (working load limit of 4.5) is selected from “Table 1 Method of Lifting and

Working Load Limits”.

2-2 Preparing the Components (Hook, Fitting, etc.)

■ Select the top and bottom fittings based on the chain diameter and number of chain legs in line with

the customer’s order specifications.

■ In case of the standard sling type in the catalog, select the required components, seeing

“Chapter 4. List of Required Chain Length and Required Components for Standard Sling

Types”.

■ A chain pin kit is enclosed in the same package as the fittings and hooks.

<Selection example> In case of the standard sling type, type D-VD-VSS/Q-VD-VSS/Q-HM-HTS, chain

diameter = 8 mm

(See the catalog for the outer shape of the sling.)

Clevis-type D-VD-VSN Clevis-type Q-VD-VSN Eye-type Q-HM-HTN

2-3 Determining the Chain Length

Cut the chain with a high-speed cutting machine or a chain cutter.

2-3-1 Calculating the Standard Sling Type

■ See “Chapter 4. List of Required Chain Length and Required Components for Standard

Sling Types”.

See the catalog for the P-dimension of the fittings components.

(1) Clevis type

Reach L dimension – Top fitting P dimension – Bottom fitting P dimension = Required chain length

Required chain length / Selected chain pitch = No. of links

<Selection example> In case of type S-VE-V, chain diameter = 6 mm, reach L = 2.0 m

2000 – 115 – 115 = 1770 mm

1770/18.0 = 98.3 links No. of required links = 99

▪ Round up the chain length so that it will not be shorter than

the reach L dimension.

▪ For the sum of P dimension of the fittings components and the chain pitch, see “Chapter 4. List of

Required Chain Length and Required Components for Standard Sling Types”.

<Selection example> In case of type S-HM-HM, chain diameter = 6 mm, reach L = 2.0 m

2000 – 110 – 48 – 48 – 110 = 1684 mm

1684/18.0 = 93.5 links No. of required links = 95

▪ Round up the chain length so that it will not be shorter

than the reach L dimension.

▪ The number of required links is 94 according to the calculation result, 95 of them are required so

as to direct the top and bottom fittings as shown in the figure.

▪ For the sum of P dimension of the fittings components and the chain pitch, see “Chapter 4. List of

Required Chain Length and Required Components for Standard Sling Types”.

For the endless type slings (D-VD-OO、Q-VD-OO、D-HM-OO、Q-HM-OO), determine

the chain length so that the number of chain links will be always odd. Even links

causes a twist of chain, possibly lowering the chain strength and compromising

safe use of chain.

(3) Odd links and even links versus direction of the bottom fitting

■ The bottom fitting is directed differently depending on the number of chain links, odd or even.

Note particularly when the direction of the bottom fitting is specified by the customer’s

specifications.

The fittings of the standard sling types shall be directed as shown in the catalog.

■ In case of the double, triple and quadruple legs, check if

each chain length is identical.

■ During work, care should be taken not to damage coating of

the fittings, etc.

■ Arrange the components on the workbench and connect the

chain and fitting with the chain pin.

■ Drive the spring pin firmly into the fitting until it is fully

embedded.

(To facilitate work, it is recommended to insert the spring pin

in such a manner that it will not project into a chain pin hole in the fitting.)

■ In case of the endless type (D-VD-OO and Q-VD-OO), set the

chain length so that the number of links will be odd, check for

any twist of chain, and assemble.

After assembly, check again if the chain pin has

been inserted and spring pin has been driven

into until it has been fully embedded, if the

chain is free from twist, if the chain length is

the same, and so on.

4-2 Precautions for Eye Type

When using the large master link HL/HLD, additional hi-coupling (sub-link) may be

required (two hi-couplings) between the master link HL/HLD and chain.

For combination of the large master link and hi-coupling, see the catalog (Page 21).

For the method for selecting the size of the master links and hi-couplings used for

the single-leg (S), double-leg (D), triple-leg (T) and quadruple-leg (Q) slings, see the

following table.
