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.
