Application methods and precautions of stainless steel chains

Stainless steel chains are widely used in various fields such as food, machinery, and chemical industry due to their corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and wear resistance. In the food industry, stainless steel chains are commonly used in food conveyors and processing equipment to ensure food safety and hygiene. In mechanical transmission, stainless steel chains are favored due to their high strength and durability.

When using stainless steel chains, the following points should be noted:

1. Keep clean: Avoid contaminating the chain with corrosive substances to prevent surface corrosion and damage.

2. Inspection and selection: Before use, the surface of the chain should be inspected to ensure that there is no obvious damage or deformation. At the same time, select appropriate chain specifications and models based on actual loads to ensure load-bearing capacity and safety.

3. Storage and maintenance: Chains that are not used for a long time should be stored in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and rust. During use, pay attention to preventing excessive stretching and twisting deformation of the chain to extend its service life.

4. Lubrication: Lubricating oil should be added to the chain in a timely manner during operation to reduce wear and improve working conditions.

In addition, the coordination between stainless steel sprockets and chains is also crucial. The teeth of the sprocket should be able to adapt to the extended pitch of the chain, ensuring smooth meshing of the chain and preventing detachment due to jumping. After the sprocket tooth surface is worn to a certain extent, it should be flipped in time to extend its service life.

In short, the correct selection and use of stainless steel chains, as well as the reasonable coordination of sprockets, are the key to ensuring the performance and safety of the chain.
