The Complete Guide to Chain

4. How to Select Chains

M : Mass of the conveyed object in conveying section (kg/m). f 1 : Coefficient of friction between the chain and the guide rail when conveying. f 2 : Coefficient of friction between the chain and the conveyed objects in the accumulating section.
