Description
Conveyor Belt Hinge Pin - All-Stainless Armored Cable Heavy Duty (Special Heavy-Duty) is a 72-inch length hinge pin used to complete hinged mechanical belt fastener splices. Sold as a single pin. Compatible with MATO Riv-Nail, Hinged Plategrip, and other hinged fastener systems.
What is in the package:
- 1 hinge pin, 72 inches long
- Pre-cut to length, ready to install
Pin material (All-Stainless Armored Cable Heavy Duty): Armored cable construction wraps the core cable in a spring-like steel armor jacket that resists abrasion from aggregate, coal, rock, and mineral fines. Best for main-line mining and quarry belts where abrasion shortens bare-cable pin life.
Heavy-duty note: The 6 designation indicates heavy-duty construction with a larger cable diameter for use with larger R-6 and RC-8 size Riv-Nail fasteners.
How to select: Hinge pins are selected based on three factors: (1) the fastener size (R-2 through RC-8 for Riv-Nail, X375/X550 for Hinged Plategrip), (2) the belt width (pin length must span the full belt width plus loop engagement), and (3) the application environment (abrasion, corrosion, or permanence). Bare-cable or armored-cable hinge pins are used when pins need to be frequently withdrawn, or when materials are abrasive. Nylon-coated and nylon-armored pins are used when pins stay in place permanently.
Installation: Thread the hinge pin through the assembled fastener loops at the splice. Verify the pin extends the full belt width with proper engagement on both edges. Cut excess length if specified by the fastener system.
