Lifting Chains: Detailed specifications for LH(BL), AL, LL, and custom standard chains are provided, designed for high fatigue strength and longevity, suitable for cranes, elevators, and forklifts.
Leaf Chains: Specifications for LH (BL), AL, and LL series chains include pitch, plate combination, tensile strength, and weight, emphasizing wear resistance and compact design.
Installation and Maintenance: Guidelines cover chain installation, alignment, test runs, and maintenance, stressing lubrication, environmental factors, and safety precautions.
Technical Specifications: Tables provide crucial data on pitch, plate dimensions, tensile strength, and weight, aiding in selecting the right chain for industrial needs.
Specifications and Recommendations:
  • Lubrication: Use SAE 20/50 oil; avoid grease unless necessary.
  • Temperature: Use dry lubricants up to 250°C; special greases for -5° to -40°C.
  • Environmental Factors: Avoid high temperatures, corrosive conditions, and dynamic loads.
Chain Installation and Maintenance:
  • Measure chain wear and replace at 2% extension (1% for extended pitch chains).
  • Follow procedures for riveting and matching chains.
  • Check sprockets and sheaves for wear.
  • Replace entire chain sets to prevent failure.
Safety Warnings:
  • Isolate power sources and wear protective gear.
  • Support chains to prevent movement.
  • Do not reuse damaged chains.
General Advice:
  • Avoid mixing chains from different manufacturers.
  • Do not electroplate, weld, or paint chains.
  • Avoid heating chains above 250°C.
Common Modes of Failure:
  • Normal wear, plate edge wear, distorted plates, turned pins, cracked plates, and tensile failure.
Troubleshooting Guide: Solutions for issues like chain climbing, noise, and rust, emphasizing lubrication, alignment, and load management.
Special Applications: Chains for heavy-duty applications ensuring reliability and performance.
Health and Safety: Additional guidance for safe product use is recommended.
Product Performance and Specifications: Performance levels are tested but not guaranteed for all applications; specifications may change.
Contact Information: Renold offices worldwide provide further assistance and information.

Renold Lifting Chain Catalogue Maintenance Schedule Check equipment to ensure that general requirements are correct (e.g. sprockets, sheaves, means of adjustment). Should endwise float of shafts be present, make due allowances so that alignment is correct at the mid position of float. Check condition and rigidity of the shafts and bearings, particularly if there has been considerable previous service. Replace or rectify if necessary. When alignment is correct within closest practical limits, drive any keys home and take a final check. Regular chain maintenance is important if maximum life is...

I Renold Lifting Chain Catalogue Chain Installation and Maintenance Chain Protection Abnormal Ambient Temperatures Environmental Factors A new Renold chain should always be stored in its original packing until installation. Renold chain is lubricated at the factory, but this lubrication will not stand up to outdoor conditions for prolonged periods particularly where there is a salt water atmosphere. For elevated temperatures up to 250°C, dry lubricants, such as colloidal graphite or MoS2 in white spirit or poly-alkaline glycol carriers are most suitable. Unprotected, lubricated chains will become...

Renold Lifting Chain Catalogue To Measure Chain Wear Chain wear can be ascertained by length measurement as follows: Chain Installation and Maintenance Lay the chain on a flat surface and, after anchoring it at one end, attach to the other end a turnbuckle and a spring balance suitably anchored. Apply a tension load by means of the turnbuckle amounting to approximately 5% of the chain breaking load. As an alternative to the use of turnbuckle and spring balance, the chain may be measured in-situ with a nominal weight in the lifting system. • Measure length ‘M’ (see Fig A) in millimetres from which...
