How to Order Attachments
Selection Tips
• For Normal Conditions Choose the highest quality chain and attachments to maximize your investment. Line breaks, chain stretch, and unreliable perfor- mance can damage equipment and cause downtime. Keep your operation running smoothly with the right chain — right now — from U.S. Tsubaki. • For Wet Conditions Water (for example, in a sterilizer or water screen), may cause exces- sive wear due to insufficient lubrication, and rust may shorten chain life. In this case, a larger chain size provides more bearing area and lower bearing pressure. Stainless steel, nickel-plated, or Neptune TM chains offer rust protection. • For Corrosive Environments Corrosive environments may cause excessive chain wear. Hydrogen embrittlement may occur in an acidic atmosphere, and, in special cases, electrochemical corrosion may occur on the chain due to sea or mine water. Contact U.S. Tsubaki for information on corrosion- resistant stainless steel chains. • In Dusty Conditions If coke, metal powder, sand, etc., is present, the chain wears very quickly because foreign material gets between the parts of the chain and between the engaging surfaces of the sprocket teeth and the chain. Select a larger chain size to reduce the bearing pressure or choose a chain especially designed for high wear resistance. The above information is provided as general guidelines. Consult the U.S. Tsubaki General Catalog or call U.S. Tsubaki for detailed ordering guidelines, and for specific application problems.
