How To Determine The Quality of Chains？

The chain is an important transmission component. If its quality is not up to standard, chain breakage and other situations may occur during use, causing social operations to stop. Therefore,when choosing a chain, one must carefully compare and select a product with higher quality.

How to determine the quality of chains?

Distinguish the quality of the chain by appearance.

Observe whether the chain plates are deformed, whether there are cracks, rust and other problems. In addition, check whether the pins, rollers and joint components are normal, whether there is loosening, deformation, wear and cracks. Check whether there is any other sound or abnormal vibration when the chain is in use. (During the inspection, make sure that the chain is smooth and there is no foreign matter attached to it to avoid affecting the accuracy of the inspection results).

Accurately measure the length of the chain.
Before measuring the chain, clean it up first. Then wrap the chain to be measured around two sprockets so that it can have better support. When measuring, a certain load should be borne on the stainless steel chain to ensure that the chain has a good tension. When the chain is used in the sprocket, it should be ensured that there is a good tooth coordination effect, and the center distance between the two sprockets should be measured.

Measure the elongation of the chain.
In order to solve the clearance on the chain, a certain pulling tension needs to be applied to the chain for measurement. In order to ensure less error in the measurement result, it should be measured at an appropriate position according to the actual situation, and then the elongation length should be measured.

Choosing a high-quality chain ensures the continuous operation of mechanical equipment, effectively plays a transmission role, and promotes the stable development of consumption and life.
