Drop Forged Chain Application
Typically used in bulk materials handling, drop forged chain is an alloy steel product that is shaped to specific tolerances. It has impressive fatigue resistance and can be used in applications with high temperatures. The chain can be manufactured in different materials and in a variety of sizes.
These chains are often used in automobile plants. They are suitable for use in assembly lines, infeed conveyors, main conveyor lines, and drive applications. In addition, they can be lubricated and sealed for longer life. They are available in many finishes and can be manufactured in imperial or metric sizes.
Drop forged chain has an improved microstructure that reduces the chance of voids. It can be supplied in different grades of alloy steel and stainless steel. Some versions are made of case-hardened materials for improved durability.
This type of chain is generally carried on a special wear-resistant manganese steel runner. There are several types of attachments that can be added, including sprockets, reversing wheels, and rollers. Some chains are also available in a rivetless construction. This is beneficial because it provides a great strength-to-weight ratio. The rivetless chain is available in a number of materials, including alloy steel.
The rivetless chain is an ideal solution for overhead trolleys and scraper flights. Its numerous attachments can also be used for drag conveying and en-masse conveying.
A drop forged chain can convey materials in a closed space up to 90 degrees. It is ideal for material handling in industries such as cement and mining. It can be crafted in a number of configurations, such as single, double, and triple strand. It is also designed to carry products in temperatures of up to 1000℃.
