TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS |
---|
PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSES OF PROBLEM | SUGGESTED REMEDY |
---|---|---|
Overloading | Inspect the drive to determine the cause of high load and eliminate Or Redesign drive for larger pitch chain |
|
Overloading | Inspect the drive to determine the cause of high load and eliminate Or Redesign drive for larger pitch chain |
|
Loading is greater than pin’s dynamic capacity | Inspect the drive to determine the cause of high load and eliminate Or Redesign drive for larger pitch chain |
|
Overloading | Single pitch offset link is to be eliminated Redesign drive using a higher capacity chain | |
Loading is greater than chain’s dynamic capacity | Single pitch offset link is to be eliminated Redesign drive using a higher capacity chain | |
Stress corrosion cracking | Replace chain, reduce speed Use larger sprockets or possibly redesign drive for small sprocket | |
Speed too high Sprockets too small Chain riding too high on sprocket teeth | Inspect the drive to determine the cause of high load and eliminate Or Redesign drive for larger pitch chain |
|
Chain rubbing on casing, guide or obstruction | Replace chain if 5% or more height worn out Inspect and redesign casing, guide and eliminate interference | |
Speed or load too high Inadequate lubrication | Reduce speed or load Redesign drive for smaller pitch chain Provide proper lubrication system. |
