LK Stenter Chain
Chain for LK stenters, built in metal steel to the LK rail pitch. We hold several types and quality grades for LK machines and we also make chain to a customer's own requirement, because LK rails vary across machine generations and the safest match is against a sample link rather than a model number.
Key Benefits
- Several types and quality grades held for LK rails
- Metal steel construction sized to the LK chain pitch
- Made to your own specification when the standard types do not match
- Supplied alongside LK rail guide, pin plate holder and chain oil
Application Scenarios
- LK rails where the chain has stretched past adjustment
- Mills running LK alongside German machines
- Full rail rebuilds during a planned shutdown
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
- A stretched chain drops fabric tension, so the cloth leaves the machine narrow even with good pins.
- Waiting on an OEM chain order keeps the whole finishing line out of production.
- LK chain being ordered on the model number when the rail generation actually differs.

Quality Control
- Dimensions gauged against the reference part on every production batch
- Fit checked on a rail or chain section before packing
- Material certificate held for the stock used
- Parts packed in matched sets from one batch so wear is even along the rail
Customisation Options
- Several standard types and quality grades
- Chain made to your own requirement
- LK rail converted to Monforts rail as a separate service
How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| LK chain parts | Order the parts on their own when the chain body is sound and only the wear components need replacing. |
| Monforts chain | Different pitch and mounting. We also convert LK rails to Monforts rails if you want to standardise the machine park. |
Fitting and Replacing This Part
Step 1
Stop the machine and let the assembly cool before stripping it
Step 2
Note how the old part sits before removing it
Step 3
Clean the seat completely before fitting the new part
Step 4
Turn the rail by hand for one full pass and check free movement
Step 5
Replace in complete sets so grip and wear stay even across the machine

LK Stenter Chain Questions
Which LK chain type do I need?
Measure the pitch over ten links and send us a photo of the link and slider. We hold several types and will confirm the match.
Can you customise the chain?
Yes. We make LK chain to a customer's own specification when none of the standard types matches.
Do you carry the rest of the LK rail?
Yes. Guide rail for LK stenters, LK pin plate holder, LK pin plates, chain parts and BESLUX chain oil.
How often should I lubricate?
Clean the guide and the chain at least once a year and add high-temperature grease at every service.
