Chain Testing

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.

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

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.

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”.

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.
