Transfer chains - High wear resistance and durability

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information on iwis transfer chains, highlighting their high wear resistance and durability. These chains are suitable for various industries, including mechanical engineering, packaging, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, among others.

Key Features:

All-round protection of functional components with attachments enclosing the chain on three sides.
Gentle handling of delicate goods and prevention of injuries and malfunctions.
Clean exterior to prevent dust accumulation and low friction during stoppages.
Suitable for both horizontal and vertical operations without lifting loads near chain wheels.
Available in various types, including nickel-plated, maintenance-free, or corrosion-proof options.

Applications and Solutions:

Designed for environments where open conveyor systems are prone to contamination.
Fully enclosed transfer chains with rugged snap-on plastic attachments to prevent malfunctions.

Attachment Characteristics:

Standard applications up to +100°C with optimized wear resistance.
High-temperature applications up to +140°C.
Enhanced wear resistance and antistatic applications available.

Chain Design and Technical Characteristics:

Friction coefficients range from 0.1 to 0.3 for chain tensile force determination.
Drive chain calculations are based on iwis Chain Engineering Handbook or online tools.
Technical specifications include pitch, breaking load, inner width, roller diameter, and more.

Connecting Link and Chain Wheels:

Chains are connected using an outer link and slide fit plate, with no locking spring required.
Standard chain wheels per DIN 8187 can be used, ensuring protection against foreign bodies.

Chain Track and Support:

Horizontal installations require steel or plastic rails for support, while vertical installations do not.

Corrosion Resistance and Maintenance:

Options include corrosion-resistant, nickel-plated, or low-maintenance chains for extended service life.
Proper lubrication is essential for minimizing wear and ensuring corrosion protection.

Transfer chains - High wear resistance and durability-4

Technical characteristics Connecting link No lifting of loads in the vicinity of the chain wheels The chain ends are connected by an outer link , and a slide fit plate pushed onto the pins. Finally, bend the chain so that the two attachments can be clipped over the rivet to complete the connection. A locking spring is not required. The two relevant attachments are coloured black for easy location of the connecting link. No adverse effect on conveyed material near the chain wheel (vibrations, shocks, jolts etc.) Chain track and support When the iwis parts conveyor chain is installed horizontally,...
