to come up with a new chain. In
response, our engineers devel-
oped an all steel, two pin chain
design that offers the same
wear protection as Lifeguard
and Allguard FX. Unique in the
industry, Sentry chains blend
features which have been suc-
cessfully used in Ramsey glass
conveying chain for decades
with totally new features which
are only available from Ramsey.
No other company offers chains
comparable to Sentry!
Sentry chains utilize time tested
assemblies, two pin joint designs,
and wear protected recessed pin
heads to produce chains that are
strong, durable, and resistant to
wear. In addition, the pin heads
in the chains are “staked” using
proprietary technology devel-
oped by Ramsey. Staked heads
are very durable and more com-
pact than heads formed by other
IMPROVED WEAR RESISTANCE OF ALLOY LINKS methods. And since the pin heads
are recessed, they will not wear
like pin heads in laser weld style
chains. Also, the guard links on
Sentry chains are hardened alloy
steel. No sintered metal parts are
used in the chain. This results in a
more robust and impact resistant
chain. Lastly, Sentry chains are
pre-stressed during manufactur-
ing to fully seat components and
to reduce chain “stretch”. O
