Since its inception, the ANKER® Wire Hook System has
earned a reputation for continued innovation and proven
performance. ANKER® wire hooks have been designed with
a variety of different wire diameters, leg and point lengths,
metals, strip lengths and styles, such as carded and
welded bar. All are readily available to meet your individual
application needs.
The double-staggered grip pattern gives wire hooks
exceptional holding power without degrading the integrity
of the belt carcass. Today’s splices also have a very low
profile, making them increasingly more compatible with
conveyor components and compliant with the need for
reduced operating noise.
Typical industries for wire fasteners include:
• Package and parts handling
• General manufacturing
• Commercial laundry
• Food processing
• Agriculture
• Filter media

Welded Bar Hooks (A Series™)
ANKER® A Series™ fasteners are
formed by welding each ANKER® hook
to a common bar.
• Welded bar creates a stable strip of fasteners to
eliminate damage during handling.
• Safety Strip covers the hook points to protect
fingertips, yet easily removed prior to lacing.
• Hook legs are held parallel to simplify
“meshing” of belt ends and the insertion of
connecting pins.
• The risk of a single hook disengaging is
significantly reduced, particularly important in
the food industry.
• The welded bar creates a flat, finished splice so
belt “wave” is eliminated.
• Under abusive applications, A Series spreads
shock loads to protect individual hooks.
A Series fasteners can be easily cut to the
appropriate length, or ordered in special lengths
up to 1500 mm. They are not recommended for
bias splices, troughed belts where common bar
breakage is a concern, and where special metals
are required.
Carded Hooks
Individual ANKER®
hooks are secured on
carding paper.
• Works with
any application,
including bias splices and
troughed belt applications.
Available in a wide variety of metals and sizes.
G Series™ Lacing
ANKER® G Series™ Lacing is
precision-stamped belt lacing
from AISI 316 stainless steel,
ensuring a consistent 4.00
mm pitch over the entire
length of the lace. The
staggered leg geometry features four
alternating point levels between the top and bottom
of the lace which provides varying points of
penetration versus a continuous line, increasing
the strength and durability of the splice.
G Series is machine-applied for consistent compression,
resulting in a uniform and flat splice,
even with belts that are prone to belt wave. Corrugated
stainless steel connecting pins prevent
migration during use.
Fastener Selection Guidelines
Specify the Right ANKER® Fastener
1. Measure belt thickness.
Use micrometer or caliper to measure belt thickness. If the belt
has an impression cover, skive cover 25 mm back from belt end
prior to measuring. Do not cut belt carcass.
2. Measure pulley diameter.
The minimum pulley diameter is the smallest pulley that has a
belt wrap of at least 90°.
3. Determine hook choices.
Referring to the chart on page 4, locate belt thickness on top of
the chart and minimum pulley diameter on the left side. Using
the matrix, determine the hook sizes most appropriate for your
application. Do not select hooks that specify a larger minimum
pulley – the leg length will be too long, causing leg fatigue and
premature failure.
4. Select hook wire diameter.
Hooks are produced in various wire diameters. A splice made
from a smaller wire diameter is quieter and wears less as it
contacts conveyor components. A splice made from a larger
wire diameter offers greater strength and abrasion resistance.
Reference the “Wire Diameter” column on the chart on page 4.
Choose a hook with a wire diameter that best suits your needs.
5. Select style.
Choose between welded and carded fasteners based on your
application requirements.
6. Select material.
Refer to the material selection chart on page 2 for the metal
characteristics which best suit your application. Not all sizes
and styles are available in all metals.
Hinge Pins
Hinge pins are the vital link that, when combined with
properly selected and installed hooks, complete the perfect splice. A wide selection of materials and sizes lets you match a hinge pin to the special needs of your application.
Production Lacers
Production Lacers are designed for high-volume production lacing. It’s the
quickest, most precise method of installing wire hooks. As the lacer jaws
contact the hooks, the hook points penetrate the belt at the ideal angle,
resulting in an optimal splice. Combs and Adaptors are available for all sizes
of hooks, making production lacers capable of lacing any size ANKER® hook.
All production lacers offer the continuous lacing feature which, with multiple
operations, allows the user to lace belts wider than the width of the lacer.
Flat, Low-Profile Splice Provides Strength and Durability
Anker® G Series Lacing stamped from either galvanized or AISI 316 stainless steel and then machine-applied for consistent compression, resulting in a uniform and flat splice. G Series lacing features, as an option, a staggered-leg design with four alternating leg lengths. These varying points of belt penetration provide additional strength and durability for the finished splice. Ideal for use in food manufacturing, package and parts handling, and filter media, the Anker® G Series is designed for use with PVC, PU, and PES belting.
Features and Benefits:
• Easy to install with proven Anker® maintenance and production
lacers, G Series splices are uniform and extremely low profile.
• The staggered legs on G 005, G 006, and G 008 – Series
provide for varying points of belt penetration which
increases both the strength and durability of the splice.
• The flat, continuous top bar design eliminates belt
wave and reduces the risk of dislodged fasteners.
• G Series lacing is joined with a corrugated stainless steel wire
connecting pin that prevents pin migration during use.
Recommended Applications:
• Food Manufacturing
• Filter Media
• Package and Parts Handling
G Series can be installed with:
• Anker Roller Lacer®
