What are the stages of conveyor chain wear?

Machine manufacturing, transportation and other industries are inseparable from the chain, and the use of the transportation chain can be said to be the equipment for transporting materials with the chain as the traction and bearing carrier. So, what are the stages of conveyor chain wear? Today, let's learn about it.

There are three stages of conveyor chain wear:

The conveyor chain has been widely used in all walks of life, but many people don't know it enough, so they don't pay attention to its lubrication and maintenance, which will cause the wear of the conveyor chain.

The pin sleeve is the main wear part of the conveyor chain. Wear will increase the gap of the chain and lengthen the chain until the chain cannot mesh with the sprocket accurately, or the correct distance and timing cannot be maintained. In addition, sometimes wear occurs between the roller and the sleeve or between the chain plate and the guide plate, which will also lead to the failure of the conveyor chain.

The extension of the conveying chain due to wear is a gradual process, which roughly includes three stages: the first stage is the initial running in. The convex part on the pin shaft and sleeve is ground off, and the small eccentric part is also ground flat; The second stage is smooth and slow lubrication and wear. At this stage, the pin shaft is properly put into the sleeve and the bearing area is fully lubricated; The third stage is rapid final wear. Lubrication may be ineffective or ineffective, the hardened layer on the surface of the pin shaft and sleeve is worn off, the conveying chain is extended, etc., resulting in a sharp increase in the load of a single node.

The above is how the conveyor chain works and what stages of conveyor chain wear. I hope it will help you!
