Roller Chain Operating Temperature

Roller Chain Operating Temperature

When the chain is exposed to temperatures beyond the recommended operating range, various issues may arise, such as reduced strength, increased wear, deformation, loss of lubrication properties, and potential failure of chain components.

The Precision Collaboration of Chains and Chain Sprockets

The Precision Collaboration of Chains and Chain Sprockets

In the realm of mechanical engineering, the fusion of chains and sprockets transcends mere technicality, representing a meticulously orchestrated synergy. This intricate interplay is pivotal across diverse mechanical systems.

How to Determine the Chain Type You're Using

How to Determine the Chain Type You're Using

Chains are common components in industrial and mechanical applications, but identifying the type of chain you're using can sometimes be challenging. This article will explain how to determine the chain type (chain no.) you're using, making it easier for you to maintain, replace, or purchase a chain of the same specification.

Chain Match and Tag

Chain Match and Tag

In mechanical equipment, it is common to require two or more chains to operate synchronously, necessitating identical lengths for proper functioning. In order to meet customer requirements, Maxtop is able to provide length matching and tagging services to ensure alignment with customer usage needs.

Roller chain length validation

Roller chain length validation

The measurement of the chain pitch is performed by measuring a specific length of the chain to ensure that the chain pitch conforms to the standard.

Poly Steel Roller Chain

Poly Steel Roller Chain

Most chains use metal links for higher strength, but they can be heavy and require frequent lubrication and maintenance. However, for lighter loads and applications that are not lubricated or easily corrode, chains with a combination of engineering plastics and stainless steel can be considered.

Push Out Force

Push Out Force

The push out force of a roller chain is the force required to push the pin from the outer plate or the bush from the inner plate. Therefore, it is also called "pushing force" or "pressing force".

NSL Series

Tired of lubricating roller chain or have an application where is difficult to re-lubricate roller chain? MCC New Self Lube roller chain could be an option for your choice.

Why Choose Stainless steel chain?

Why Choose Stainless steel chain?

The stainless steel roller chain and double-pitch conveyor roller chain are made from SUS304 material for superior corrosion resistance. Stainless steel chain used in the food industry and processing industries. MCC provides ANSI, ISO standard stainless steel chain, includes double-pitch, straight link plate chain.

Fatigue Test Method for Roller Chains

Fatigue Test Method for Roller Chains

The fatigue strength test is considered to be the closest test method to the actual use of the chain. Since the chain is constantly moving during use, it is also necessary to understand the fatigue life and endurance limit of the chain. The purpose of this test is to find out under what tensile load on the chain will (theoretically) never break. For general chains (excluding stainless steel chains), the fatigue strength is equivalent to the maximum allowable load.
