Metal Selection

• Steel Plated steel is the standard fastener
  material for most applications. Plating helps
  combat mild corrosion.
• Stainless 300 Series Provides extra resistance
  to abrasion, magnetic attraction, and corrosion
  from acids and other chemicals.
• RustAlloy Low chrome, stainless steel alloy
  that resists corrosion due to acidic mine water
  or other chemical attacks.

6
Rivet Selection

• Packaged in box or in bulk quantities.
• Rivets are available in either steel or stainless
  steel.

7
Hinge Pin Selection

• A wide selection makes it easy to match hinge
  pins to the needs of the application.
• Bare Armored Cable Heavy-duty, long-wearing pin
  popular in underground mining applications. Armor
  wrapping protects interior wires.
• Bare Armored Stainless Steel Cable The same
  advantages as bare armored cable plus corrosion
  resistance.
• Nylon Covered Armored Cable Combines durable
  armored steel wrap with a nylon covering for
  smooth operation and long service life. Nylon
  covering prevents pin migration. Not recommended
  in wet, abrasive applications.

8
Hinge Pin Selection

• Nylon Covered Steel Cable Nylon covering
  prevents pin migration. Not recommended in wet,
  abrasive applications. For R2 and R5 only.
• Nylon Covered Stainless Steel Cable For greater
  corrosion resistance. Not recommended in wet,
  abrasive applications. For R2 and R5 only.
• Bare Steel Cable Recommended for abrasive or
  gritty material conveyance.
• Bare 300 Series Stainless Steel Cable For
  conditions where corrosion attacks steel pins.
  For R2 and R5 only.

Features Benefits

• Features a low profile, reducing the fasteners
  exposure to cleaner blades, skirt rubber and
  return idlers.
• Reduced wear and tear on the fastener extends the
  life of the splice.

10
Features Benefits

• The viewport simplifies fastener positioning and
  installation.
• Staggered rivet pattern provides maximum
  resistance to pull-out and allows the rivets to
  work between the carcass fibers to avoid damaging
  them.

11
Features Benefits

• The same hammer blows that set the rivets also
  compress the fastener plates into the belt cover.
• Distributes the splice tension evenly across the
  width of the belt.

12
Installation Tools

• Easy-to-use, portable tool that makes multiple
  rivet driving simple and fast.
• The MSRT holds the belt, fastener strip, and the
  guide blocks securely in place.
• Five rivets can be driven simultaneously.
• Each guide block holds enough rivets to install
  four plates.

13
Installation Tools

• Used for single rivet driving, the SRTA includes
  an anvil plate surface and the SR-50 driver.
• The SR-50 holds and positions the rivet and helps
  ensure safe rivet driving.
• Its portable, economical and requires little
  maintenance.

14
Installation Tools

• The portable MSRT8 installs R6, RAR6 and RAR8
  fasteners.

15
Installation Tools

• The R2T installs up to 300mm (12) of R2
  fasteners in one pass. For wider belts, simply
  move the tool over.
• Its lightweight and portable.

16
Installation Tools

• Far-Pul HD Belt Clamps are easy-to-use,
  lightweight and specially engineered for
  heavy-duty applications.
• Load capacity up to 2.7 metric tons (3 tons) when
  used with two 1-1/2 ton come-alongs.
• Provides even tensioning across entire belt width.

• Securely grips belts up to 25mm (1) thick.
• Easily adjusts to fit a variety of belt widths.

17
Installation Tools

• Make straighter cuts time after time with the
  lightweight, easy-to-use 840 Series Belt Cutter.
• Cuts in both directions.
• Designed to enhance operator safety.
• Grips belts securely.
• Safety blade is shielded from operator contact.

18
Installation Tools

• Portable, lightweight FSK Belt Skiver adjusts
  easily and precisely to various cutting depths.
• Use on rubber-covered belts with top covers of
  4.5mm (3/16) or more.
• Provides skives from 1.5-10mm (1/16-3/8) deep
  in a single pass.

19
Installation Tool

• Reduce friction on metal tools, and rubber or
  fabric belt surfaces with Flexco Silicone
  Lubricant.
• Makes cutting or punching holes in belting
  easier.
• Non-flammable.
• Does not contain fluorocarbons.

20
Installation Tools

• Double-edged blade cuts in either direction.

• The Alligator 300 Series Belt Cutter delivers
  clean, straight cuts quickly and safely.
• For belts of any width up to 28mm (1-1/8) thick.

21
Installation Tools

• Belt grips can be used on belts up to 16mm (5/8)
  thick and come in pairs.

• When Belt Grips are slipped over belt edge at a
  right angle, belts can be pulled without damaging
  the belt surfaces.
• Makes pulling belting by hand a lot easier.
