PLASTIC MODULAR CHAIN

WT2706-K Plastic Modular Chain Ideal for Conveying Containers, Food, and Rubber Sheets Plug-clip pin retention system enables easy connection and disconnection of modules and reuse of pins. Protrusions on the ribs of each module make positioning them easy and facilitate assembly. Specifications (Plastic Chain Materials) B Standard Series General-purpose polyacetal chain links General-purpose type Uses a commercial-grade polyacetal resin with excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength, sliding characteristics). Applications ● Versatile type of chain that can be used in a wide range of applications...

Plastic Modular Chain Open Type: Straight Running Features • Plug-clip pin retention system enables easy connection and disconnection of modules and reuse of pins. • Chain widths can be configured in 3-inch (76.2 mm) units. Modules can be cut to allow 1/3-inch units. Link color Open area % Chain strength kN/m {kgf/m} Chain material Operating temperature range °C Special engineering plastic Note: 1. Values for chain strength are at an ambient temperature of 20°C and assume that tension acts uniformly over the entire chain width. The values in the table above are for chain that is one meter (1...

■ Sprockets for WT2706-K Chain Tsubaki model no. Bore shape Bore Approx. diameter mass d kg 40 60 65 Material Reinforced polyamide (black) Note: 1. Made-to-order product. 2. Operating temperature range: –20°C to 80°C 3. Sprockets are made to fit loosely on the shaft to absorb differences in thermal expansion between the chain and conveyor, and to offset alignment errors between the sprocket and chain. 4. The number of sprockets installed and the positions where they are installed will vary depending on load conditions. Please refer to the “Determine Sprocket Locations” section of this brochure....

■ Determine Sprocket Locations Sprockets can be installed on WT2706-K chain in an axial direction. When installing sprockets, be sure to check for allowable load. The sprocket locations shown below are recommended under the following conditions. • When the chain tension rate is 0% to 50%: Sprockets should be installed every 101.6 mm (4 inches) and allowing for a certain amount of space from the edges of the module. • When the chain tension rate is 50% to 75%: Sprockets should be installed every 76.2 mm (3 inches) and allowing for a certain amount of space from the edges of the module. • When...

Handling ■ Handling Sprockets In general, square shafts are recommended for the drive and driven shafts used with plastic modular chain, except for special cases (such as fixed-width chains and right-angle transfers using TOD chains). Because changes in temperature will cause the chain to expand and contract, sprockets must be mounted so that they are free to move laterally across the width. However, to prevent meandering (snaking) of the chain, one (or two) sprocket(s) should be locked in position in the center of both the drive and driven shafts using setscrews or set-collars and hexagonal...

For Your Safety When Using the Chain Warning To avoid danger, observe the following rules. General • o not use chain or chain accessories for any purpose other than their originally intended use. D • ever perform additional work on chain (including machining, grinding, annealing, cleaning with acids or alkalis, electroplating, or welding or cutting N with a torch which will cause heat effects). These processes may cause the chain to break during operation, leading to a risk of severe injury. • hen replacing a worn or damaged part, do not replace just the worn or damaged part. Replace all parts...
