LK Stenter Chain Parts
Chain parts for LK stenters, supplied on their own rather than as a complete chain. When the link plates and pins on an LK rail are still sound, replacing the wear parts restores the chain for far less than a full rail. Metal steel construction, made in Zhejiang, and we customise to your requirement.
Key Benefits
- Restores a sound LK chain without buying a full rail
- Metal steel parts made to the LK chain pitch
- Several quality grades so you can match the part to the machine's remaining life
- Customised to your requirement when the standard parts do not fit
Application Scenarios
- Section repairs on an LK rail
- Mills with a workshop that rebuilds its own chain
- Keeping wear parts on the shelf for unplanned stops
Who It Is For
- Dyeing and finishing mills running LK stenters
- Maintenance teams planning a chain overhaul during a shutdown
- Textile machinery service companies rebuilding rails on customer sites
Problems It Solves
- Bushes that seize on the pin make the chain snatch on the guide and wear the rail.
- Buying a whole chain when only the wear parts have failed.
- Waiting on an OEM chain order keeps the whole finishing line out of production.

How It Compares

|---|---|
| Complete LK chain | Buy the complete chain once the pitch has stretched. Until then, parts are the economical route. |
| Monforts chain parts | Different pitch and mounting. Keep the two brands separate on your parts list. |

Guides That Mention This Part
Oil-Free or Lubricated Stenter Guides
An oil-free guide keeps lubricant away from the fabric using graphite strips and PEEK sliders. A lubricated guide uses a grease film. The chain is different for each, and mixing them is a costly mistake.

Why Fabric Leaves the Stenter Narrower Than It Should
Width loss is almost always a grip problem, not a setting problem. Work through the rail in order: brush, pins or clips, holders, chain, guide.

Stenter Chain Maintenance and Lubrication
Clean the guide and chain at least once a year, use a high temperature grease, and measure pitch over ten links before you decide to replace anything.
