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.

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.

Wear resistance

Consistent overall tolerances make it

ideal for conveying systems requiring
precise alignment

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.

Key features

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
