Pewag AW10 Grade 100 Master Link - 3/8 in

Product Description

The Pewag AW10 Grade 100 Master Link is a high-strength connecting link designed for use in Grade 100 lifting chain sling assemblies. Rated to Grade 100 standards, the AW10 provides the high working load limit and mechanical performance required for demanding overhead lifting applications in steel fabrication, construction, mining, and heavy industrial environments. As a master link, it serves as the primary connection point between the lifting chain legs and the hook of a hoist or crane, making it a critical load-bearing component in any chain sling assembly.

The AW10 is manufactured from alloy steel and heat treated to achieve the mechanical properties required for Grade 100 certification. Grade 100 chain and fittings offer a significant working load limit advantage over Grade 80 equivalents of the same size, allowing for lighter and more compact sling assemblies without sacrificing rated capacity. The 3/8" size is compatible with 3/8" Grade 100 lifting chain and is commonly used in single-leg, double-leg, and multi-leg chain sling configurations across a wide range of lifting capacities.

As part of the Pewag lifting hardware range, the AW10 master link is engineered to the same quality and dimensional standards as Pewag's Grade 100 chain, ensuring reliable compatibility and consistent performance throughout the sling assembly. Pewag is a recognized manufacturer of high-quality lifting chain and fittings, and the AW10 is designed to meet the requirements of rigorous industrial lifting programs where component traceability and rated performance are essential.
