2. Chain Types and ISO Series

The document categorizes accumulation chains into several conveyor chain types, each associated with specific ISO series numbers and technical characteristics:

• Type A and A1: Standard conveyor chains with detailed dimensions including pitch, roller diameter, pin diameter, plate thickness, and conveyor roller width. Materials include Carbon Steel (CS), Delta-Tone (DT), Nickel Plated (NP), and Stainless Steel (SS).
• Type A Double: Double conveyor chain variant with larger dimensions and specifications.
• Type B: Chains with larger pitch and roller diameters, suitable for heavier conveyor applications.
• Type C and C1, C2: Chains with specific attachment dimensions and conveyor roller sizes, including small and big conveyor rollers.
• Type D and D1: Chains with larger pitch and plate thickness, designed for robust conveyor systems.
• Type E and E1, E Double: Chains with detailed attachment dimensions and conveyor roller specifications, including double chain versions.
• Type F: Chains with specific pitch and roller dimensions, suitable for particular conveyor setups.
• Type G: Chains with defined transverse pitch and plate thickness, designed for specialized conveyor applications.

3. Technical Specifications

Each chain type is described with the following key parameters:

• Pitch (P): Distance between chain pins, typically in millimeters.
• Roller Diameter (d2, d3): Diameter of rollers used in the chain and conveyor.
• Pin Diameter and Length (d1, L): Dimensions of pins connecting the chain plates.
• Width Between Plates (b1): Minimum width between inner plates of the chain.
• Plate Thickness (t/T max): Thickness of chain plates, indicating strength and durability.
• Conveyor Roller Width and Diameter: Dimensions of rollers used on the conveyor system, important for compatibility.
• Material Types: Chains are available in Carbon Steel (CS), Delta-Tone (DT), Nickel Plated (NP), and Stainless Steel (SS), with options for corrosion resistance.
• Attachment Dimensions: Specific to chain types with attachments, detailing dimensions such as A, B, C, F, H, J, and others for mounting and integration.

4. Material and Corrosion Resistance

The chains are manufactured from various materials to suit different operating environments:

• Carbon Steel (CS): Standard material for general applications.
• Delta-Tone (DT): A treated steel variant for enhanced durability.
• Nickel Plated (NP): Provides corrosion resistance and aesthetic finish.
• Stainless Steel (SS): For high corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

5. Recommendations and Usage Notes

• Matched pairs of chains are recommended for applications where chains operate in parallel to ensure synchronized movement.
• Corrosion-resistant versions should be selected for environments with moisture or chemical exposure.
• Technical assistance is available to help select the appropriate chain type and specifications based on application requirements.

6. Summary of Key Dimensions and Parameters

The document contains extensive tabulated data for each chain type, including:

• ISO/DIN numbers for standardization reference.
• Pitch sizes ranging from approximately 6.35 mm to 25.4 mm and above.
• Roller diameters and conveyor roller widths tailored to chain type and application.
• Pin diameters and lengths ensuring mechanical strength.
• Plate thickness values indicating load capacity.

These parameters are critical for engineers and designers to ensure compatibility with conveyor systems and operational reliability.
