How Clipper
®
Hooks Work
The Clipper
®
Hook design incorporates a
double-staggered grip pattern that gives wire
hooks exceptional holding power without
degrading the integrity of the belt carcass.
The points of the fastener pass through the
belt carcass and are formed over, locking the
carcass between them.
This low profile splice is highly compatible
with conveyor components and compliant
with the need for reduced operating noise.
Additional splice strength and consistency
of splice installation is obtained through
precision machine application.

How to Specify
the Correct Clipper
®
Fastener
Fastener Metal
Selection
Hinge Pin Selection
1. Measure your Belt Thickness (PIW).
2. Measure the Diameter of the
Smallest Pulley in your Drive with
Belt Wrap more than 90°.
3. Using the selection chart on page 6,
identify possible hook choices.
4. Narrow selections by selecting
desired wire diameter.
• Larger wire diameter provides
greater strength and abrasion
resistance.
• Smaller wire diameter
provides less noise and less
wear on conveyor components.
5. If multiple choices remain,
select either carded or Unibar
®
style fastener.
Galvanized Steel
. For basic
applications, galvanized steel is
recommended.
Stainless Steel.
Type 430 and Type
316 Stainless Steel offers more
resistance than steel to abrasion,
acids, chemicals, rusting, and
magnetic attraction.
High Tensile.
Added abrasion
resistance and fastener retention
strength.
Specialty Metal.
• Coated Steel
• Rectangular High Tensile
• Monel

• Phosphor Bronze
• Hastelloy
• Black Oxide
