I Renold Conveyor Chain Catalogue Conveyor Chain Details Section 1 Conveyor Chain Types Precision conveyor chain, like transmission chain, consists of a series of journal bearings held in precise relationship to each other by constraining link plates. Each bearing consists of a bearing pin and bush on which the chain roller revolves. The bearing pin and bush are case-hardened to allow articulation under high pressures, and to contend with the load carrying pressure and gearing action imparted via the chain rollers. There is, for each strength of conveyor chain, a range of pitches; the minimum...

Renold Conveyor Chain Catalogue Standard attachments are parts fitted to a base chain to adapt it for a particular purpose as a conveying medium. Attachments may form an integral part of the link plate or may be built into the chain as a replacement of the normal link. Other attachments (according to type) are fixed to the chain plates by projection or fillet welding, to either one or both sides of the chain. Standard attachments are described below: F Attachments Outer or Inner Links Standard Attachments Spigot Pins Spigot Pin through Hollow Bearing Pin F2 - Welded • The letter stands for the...

Renold Conveyor Chain Catalogue Extra Strength Standard Conveyor Chain Section 1 Product Description To complement our standard range of British Standard Conveyor Chain, this extra strength chain is more suitable for conveyor applications selected on ultimate tensile strength (breaking load). Each chain is the same dimensionally as its normal counterpart, for example an extra strength 24000 lbs chain has basically the same dimensions as a normal 12000 lbs series chain. This chain is used extensively in the conveying of animal feed and bulk food stuffs such as grain, maize, wheat and raw food...
