Challenge Group presents conveyor chain.
All link plates are produced from high tolerance, on size, cold-drawn steel bars with high carbon. This eliminates all internal strain related to guillotined steel. Also, it ensures a plate with superior resistance to fatigue and shock loads. Accurate plates positioning leads to higher strength. It also improves attachment positioning accuracy.
Bushes are provided with location shoulders and interference fit. This helps in accurate assembling. Due to this, inner width is controlled and bush rotation is prevented. Bush shoulder length is increased to form clearance in the middle of internal and external plates. It offers consistent lubrication, greater strength and a longer life. It minimizes the likelihood of chain seizure. Bushes are made of case-hardening alloy steel. They go through precision machining from seamless tube. This ensures least distortion and improved concentricity. Optionally available are liner bushes of stainless steel or with Nitride treatment.
The rollers are hardened with grinding of the external diameter. This provides high resistance to wear and improves load-handling capacity. It also minimizes sprockets wear and improves visual appeal.
