Bruckner Stenter Clip Type 4
Clip for Bruckner stenters. Stenter machines split into clip stenters and pin stenters. The advantage of a clip is that the edges of the cloth stay relatively flat, which suits thicker fabrics. A clip stenter needs a definite edge to grip, preferably a selvedge, so it is usually confined to woven fabrics. The clip starts open. When the cloth enters, the knife of the clip closes and holds the cloth tightly. At the end of the machine the clip opens again and releases the fabric. This is the fourth Bruckner clip reference, photographed as a complete assembly. Bruckner rails changed over the machine's production life, so the only safe way to order is to match the clip against the one you are removing. Black finish metal, 0.65 kg reference weight, with grease or without grease.
Key Benefits
- One of four Bruckner clip references, so a mixed Bruckner park is covered
- Knife grips the selvedge at entry and releases at the delivery end
- With grease or without grease to suit the guide
- Matched against your sample clip before production starts
Application Scenarios
- Bruckner clip rails running woven goods
- Mills running more than one Bruckner machine generation
- Clip replacement at the annual shutdown
Who It Is For
- Woven fabric finishers running Bruckner clip stenters
- Maintenance teams rebuilding a clip rail
- Machinery dealers holding clip stock for local mills
Problems It Solves
- Clips that no longer close fully letting the selvedge slip, so the fabric loses width.
- Worn knife edges cutting or fraying the selvedge instead of gripping it.
- Clips failing to reopen at the delivery end and dragging the fabric edge.

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| The other three Bruckner clip references | All four look similar and differ in the chain mounting. Send us the clip you are removing, or a photo of it on the chain, and we will tell you which reference matches. |
| Bruckner pin plates | Pins take higher tension and run faster but mark the selvedge. Clips keep the edge flat. |
Fitting and Replacing This Part
Step 1
Stop the chain and let the clips cool before working on the rail
Step 2
Note how the clip sits on the chain before removing it
Step 3
Fit the new clip, then open and close it by hand to check the knife action
Step 4
Turn the rail through one full pass and watch the clips open at the delivery end
Step 5
Replace clips in complete sets so grip is the same the whole way along

Guides That Mention This Part
Pin Plate or Clip Which Stenter Rail Suits Your Fabric
Pins hold more tension and run faster but mark the selvedge. Clips leave the edge clean but need a real selvedge to grip. Here is how to decide, and what to do when you need both.

What Is a Stenter Machine and How Does It Work
A stenter heat sets and dries fabric by holding it at a controlled width while hot air passes through it. This guide walks through the process and names the parts that do the work.
Read GuideBruckner Stenter Clip Type 4 Questions
You list four Bruckner clips that look the same. Which one do I need?
They differ in the chain mounting. Post us one clip, or send a photo of the clip sitting on your chain with a ruler across the mounting, and we will confirm the reference before you pay.
Can I mix references on one rail?
No. Grip would be uneven along the rail. Order one reference for the whole machine.
What does with grease or without grease mean?
Pre-greased for a lubricated rail, dry for an oil-free guide. Tell us which your machine uses.
Do you supply Bruckner chain and pin plates too?
Yes, four chain patterns, two pin plate patterns, brush wheels in two sizes and a lubrication version.
