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.
What are important tests for chains?
In order to ensure chains high quality, MAXTOP chains will go through several inspections and tests to assure that the produced chain meets the specifications. We are going to introduce you some representatively important tests according to their purpose by the test.
How to inspect your roller chain
Check our roller chain inspection list to find out the probable causes of roller chain wear and action suggested to take.
Wearing Test Method for Roller Chains
Wear resistance is one of the elements for high-quality chains. Through test, we can find out the quality of chains and where to improve.
Tensile Test Method for Roller Chains
Through Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) test, we can review chain quality and inspect possible defects in the chain.
Anti-Corrosion Chain Testing Standard - Salt Spray Test
Salt spray test is to examine corrosion resistance of coated chain. The article is to introduce the standard and method how the test is done.
