Industrial Sprocket Manufacturers Introduces The Precautions For The Use Of Chains

Chains are used in many places, whether it is industrial equipment or household items, you can see different types of chains in these places. Below, Industrial Sprocket Manufacturers will introduce the precautions for the use of chains:

1. Temperature and freezing
In the case of the temperature difference between day and night in winter, the conveying device may freeze. While adding lubricating oil and performing maintenance, please pay attention to the change of temperature and operate the conveying device for the conveyed materials that contain moisture.

2. Custody of the spare chain
In order to prevent failure, it is recommended to prepare a spare chain. When temporarily storing spare chains, please stack them in a room with low humidity. In addition, for long-term storage, please apply anti-corrosion oil. Please attach a label with the product name, drawing number, date of purchase, name of the equipment used, etc. to the chain for easy storage.

3. When the operation is stopped
The conveying device must be stopped in the no-load state. This is because it may cause overload when starting. In addition, if the operation is stopped for a long time, the key strip must be inspected and repaired before starting the conveying device.

4. Fixing of parts
Boxes, buckets, slats, and other conveying devices that are bolted to the chain may cause the nuts to loosen and fall off due to vibration during operation. Therefore, please install a buffer sheet.

5. Cleaning
If foreign objects or transported objects are attached to the chain or chain guide, please clean it regularly.

6. Preventive protection of conveyor belts
If you make a maintenance record of the conveying device, regularly record the conveying capacity, conveying speed, spindle rotation speed, current, voltage, power, actual running time, actual conveying volume, overhaul, date of adding lubricating oil, accidents, etc., to prevent occurrence Accidents facilitate maintenance.

7. Storage of chains and sprockets
Do not store the chain and sprocket in locations where there is dust, slag, or rain. To prevent the sprocket from rusting, please use a brush to apply lubricating oil, because the chain is not treated with rust at the time of shipment. When storing, please apply anti-rust oil and perform regular maintenance.
