R5-1/2MA-SE by Flexco | #41450 | SR Scalloped Edge R5-1/2 Rivet Hinged Fasteners | Megalloy | 4 Plate Strips | 10 Strips per Box

The Flexco® SR™ Rivet Hinged Fastening System has earned a reputation for quality and performance in the most demanding material handling applications on earth. Wherever belt conveyors are used, you need a fastener system that lets you set up, splice, and get out of the way... fast. Flexco SR fasteners deliver the performance, long life, and easy installation that maximize belt availability and help keep productivity on a roll.

Flexco Rivet Hinged Fasteners combine top and bottom fastener plates, which are joined at one end by two wide hinge loops. Each pair of plates sandwich the belt end and are secured to the belt with a staggered pattern of rivets. The rivets penetrate the belt without damaging or weakening the belt carcass providing maximum resistance to pull-out and evenly distributed splice tension across the width of the belt. No matter what the belt condition, Flexco SR fasteners are a good choice for both new and older, worn belts. Rivet hinged fasteners can be used on belts ranging from 1/8" to 1" (3 - 25 mm) after skive with pulley diameters over 5" (127 mm). Concerns about comparable vulcanized splice strength can be dismissed as rivet hinged fasteners have a long history of service on belts with mechanical fastener rating of up to 2000 P.I.W. (350 kN/m).

Each Set Contains:
4 plate strips, 10 Strips per box Note: You must order each component separately for a complete splice. (Fastener Strip + Rivets + Hinge Pin)
Applications:
Coal and Hard Rock, Underground and Surface Mining, Wood Processing, Asphalt Plants, Construction and Road Equipment
Features:
Midsize R5-1/2 is ideal as an upgrade for R5 or in applications where pulley size prohibits the use of R6. Lower fastener profile extends belt splice life. Less effort required for installation. Reduces maintenance costs. Viewport assures proper installation alignment.
