 First of all, please remember that while we often focus on winning the Chairman's Award, that it is the effort to win that matters. No one "loses" RCA... if you've worked your butt off all year in the spirit of the award, then you've already won before you even get to the regional. - dtengineering [more] |

Re: Conveying along chain
VexPro sells a gusset with the intended use case. You could easily make something similar, but their drawings explain it well.

Re: Conveying along chain
Here is an example of what we did for our elevator last year. We used T-Gussets bought from Vex and bent them 90 degrees to give us plenty of mounting room. To attach the gusset to the chain we used two #8 bolts, which fit through #35 chain (use more #4 bolts if you are using #25 chain), which seemed to provide plenty of support.

Re: Conveying along chain
548 used those McMaster attachment links last year to mount our tote hooks to our lifting chain (which also had a guide rail). This year, we are using them to hold the end of the springs that balances our arm.

Re: Conveying along chain
Link to mcmaster's selection of attachment links. Only for #35 (or larger) though.
