VLBS Weld-on Load Ring
The RUD VLBS D-Ring is forged of high-quality, high-resistant steel CrNiMo, 100% crack detected, with distinctive fluorescent pink powder coated surface and innovative shape has the following advantages:
The VLBS ring bracket is forged out of the high strength material CrNiMo with two patented inner supporting lugs. The two protective support lugs inside the load ring improve the connection with the attachment, as well as protecting the clamping spring. The optimized shape enables a strong support at loads 90° to the plane of the eye.
The welding block is forged out of quality welding material 1.0577+N (St 52-3) and clearly stamped with an identification number for the permissible WLL. The distance lugs are for the measurement and provision of the required gap for the root welding (approx. 3mm). Important: The weld arrangement (continuous HV weld) fulfils the requirements of DIN 18800, i.e. the closed weld avoids corrosion and is thus suitable for outdoor use. A protected spring keeps the ring bracket in every required position without tipping and it also reduces vibration induced noise.
The pink powder coating is both a VIP® identification characteristic and a heat indicator. The special fluorescent pink powder coating permanently highlights the maximum temperature at which the VIP® chain has been used. The special fluorescent pink powder coating permanently changes color at increased temperatures. With temperatures exceeding 200°C, the pink powder coating color changes to tan, brown, and finally black. If temperatures reach 400°C, the color changes to a deep black with small bubbles, indicating that the VIP® chain and lifting component has been over-heated and must no longer be used.
