Driving Chains FAQ
Q: What maintenance is required for Driving Chains?
A: Regular maintenance of Driving Chains includes proper lubrication every 8 hours of operation, tension adjustment to manufacturer specifications, and periodic inspection for wear. We recommend checking for elongation (stretch) every 200 operating hours and replacing chains that exceed 3% elongation. Cleaning with a solvent before relubrication helps remove contaminants that accelerate wear.
Q: How do I select the right Driving Chain for my application?
A: Selecting the appropriate Driving Chain involves considering several factors: the horsepower and speed requirements of your system, the type of load (shock, continuous, or variable), environmental conditions (temperature, moisture, chemicals), and the sprocket specifications. Our technical team can help you calculate the required chain size based on your specific torque, rpm, and service factor requirements.

More Driving Chains Questions
Q: What are the signs that my Driving Chain needs replacement?
A: Common indicators include visible wear on rollers and bushings, chain elongation beyond permissible limits, stiff or frozen links, excessive noise during operation, and inconsistent power transmission. Regular measurement of chain pitch length helps determine wear percentage. A worn chain can damage sprockets and reduce system efficiency by 15-20%, so timely replacement is crucial.
