Experience Fatigue life

With over 100 years experience in designing
and manufacturing chain products for
tough industrial applications, you can be
assured that Renold chains have optimum
design features. Renold Chain engineers
are well aware of the rugged requirements
to be met to assure the long service life of
bucket elevator chains. Years of testing in
Renold Chain's R&D facility ensures
trouble free operation in the field.
Wear resistance
Pins and bushes (knuckles) are made
from alloy steel for maximum wear life
and toughness. Pins are through hardened
and induction hardened to provide
maximum wear resistance. The pins
and bushes are also centerless ground
to improve wear life and provide ideal fit
between mating parts.
All chain parts are designed to provide
maximum fatigue life. Plates are through
hardened for maximum strength without
sacrificing necessary toughness. The
full round design of pins and bushes
eliminates stress risers in plate holes to
maximise fatigue life. The plate hole size
and finish are closely controlled to assure
optimum press fit and fatigue life.
Key features
• Consistent overall tolerances make it
ideal for conveying systems requiring
precise alignment
• Maximum chain strength and resistance
to wear are achieved by strict control of
the material specification, and by using
state of the art heat treatment processes
• Special materials selected for the unique
combination of demands placed on
bucket elevator chains
• Fatigue life is improved by maintaining
precise fits and tolerances between the
pins, bushes and side plates
• Chain and sprocket life are optimised
by the rigid control of pitch accuracy,
resulting in excellent gearing, lower
friction and reduced wear
• Bush and roller life are maximised by
controlling the concentricity of these
components and careful selection and
control of the heat treatment process
• Breaking loads exceed the minimum
international standards
• Strict control of inner and outer plate
clearances ensures effective lubricant
penetration

Seal joint bucket elevator chain

• The majority of elevator chains are
available with the sealed joint feature
• The sealing method both seals in
lubricant and seals out debris
• Wear life can be increased dramatically Cross section view
through use of this chain type showing seal detail

Drag conveyor chain

• High quality alloy and carbon steels give
high strength proportions
• Optimum heat treatment processes -
to prolong wear life
• Precise hole formation and pitch control
- maintain even loadings
• Optimum interference fits for increased
fatigue resistance
