Cast Link Chains have for long been a major force in the mechanical handling industry and, despite the increasingly popularity of steel chains, still has a part to play due to its ruggedness and special characteristics in certain applications.
Where conditions of shock, abrasion, corrosion and heat are met cast link chains in various materials can more than prove their worth especially with the more generous clearances which greatly assist when handling dusty or clogging materials.
Cast link chains can be supplied with a large variety of integral attachments and in many formats.
On narrow screens you can scroll the following tables horizontally.
Direction of Travel
To maximise conveyor and elevator chain life the correct direction of travel is important on all offset sidebar cast / bushed chain without rollers.
Chain should work with the open end of the link leading thus, obviating any frictional wear which could take place between the link and the driving sprocket teeth.
This rule applies to any offset sidebar conveyor or elevator chain WITHOUT ROLLERS and all offset sidebar cast or forged link chains.
From the diagram it can be seen that if the closed end of the link leads, then the link itself rotates on the driving tooth as the wheel articulates, whereas, if in the CORRECT position, with the open end of the link leading, the following link to the one actually being driven merely articulates on its pin as the sprocket wheel revolves.
