PREFACE
This catalogue lists all available chains, special chains to DIN standard and manufacturers’ standard specifications, chain
wheels and accessories. The technical section of the latest edition also includes selection guidelines for roller chains
(according to DIN 8195).
For decades, we have gathered experience in production processes and from our customers using chains and chain
wheels. We continually assess these experiences. This is one of the reasons for the high quality standards maintained
by our products. We are continuously searching for improved qualities of material and enhanced manufacturing
methods to ensure that the quality of our products increases constantly and that it is state of the art. Please present your
requirements and problems to us! Every one of our employees will try to help you immediately.
Every steel link chain consists of inner and outer links. The figure below shows both links with their respective components.
The shape and mechanical design of the individual components of the chain differ for every type of chain. All the parts
of a chain are made from a variety of materials, mainly however, from high-quality steel of a variety of qualities and heat
treatment processes.
pin
bushing
Pins
Pins are subjected to high bending and shearing forces and therefore are generally made of high quality hardened
steel. With the appropriate heat treatment, these are provided with a high tensile strength core and a wear-resistant
and extremely hard surface. Provision of the correct surface treatment, combined with close manufacturing tolerances
guarantees the best joint and press-fit conditions.
Bushings
Pins are subjected to high bending and shearing forces and therefore are generally made of hardened steel alloy.
The appropriate heat treatment provids these with the correct wear resistance and surface quality.
Rollers
Rollers are mainly subjected to impact shock and are therefore made entirely of heat-treated steel or hardened steel
(as well as other materials for thick-walled rollers). Correct tolerances guarantee proper running fit on the bushing.
Links:
Links are mainly subjected to tensile stresses and are manufactured of tempered steel. Depending on the type of chain,
they are heat treated to achieve high fatigue strength and resistance to breakage, whilst retaining the required levels of
elasticity. The superior hole quality and pitch accuracy is achieved in part by precision punching. This process ensures
precise seating conditions for the pins and bushings, as well as close length tolerances for the entire chain. Shot peening
of the links ,cold hardens, these surfaces, thereby increasing the fatigue strength.

SLECTION OF BUSHED ROLLER CHAINS
Calculation:
Bushed roller chains are drive chains that cater for a limited range of speeds (v ~ 4 m/s). They are similar to the
roller chains, but all round parts are secured against rotation and no roller exists.
Applications: Drives with high power and low speeds (diagram p. 31)
Materials:
Links: Steel of 600 N/mm2 tensile strength according to DIN 17100 or 17200
Pins and bushings: employ surface-hardened steel to DIN 17210.
32
SELECTION OF CONVEYOR CHAINS
Calculation:
The design of a conveyor chain depends largely on the loads, the speeds, the operating conditions and the
chain length. The real tensile force „F“ is calculated by means of the formulas below. The calculated value is then
multiplied by the correct safety factor „r“.
This generally is in the range between 6 and 7. In borderline cases, a lower factor can be used if you accept
minor reductions in the working life. It is always advisable, however, to recalculate the joint surface pressure for
the selected chain. The chart on p. 95.shows permitted values for the joint surface pressure. All conveyor chains
are produced on so-called base chains consisting of pins, bushings and joints and can be adapted for different
purposes by means of hollow bearings, rollers, angles, carriers and other components. The tensile strength of the
chain is not affected except where hollow pins are used.
33

CONVEYOR CHAINS
In accordance with DIN 8165 and manufacturer’s standard specifications
Note:
Certain components of the bushed conveyor chains listed below are available ex-stock. This means that different
combinations of the standard components may be assembled into custom chain types at the customer’s request.
In other words, conveyor chains of the solid or hollow bearing pin type, without rollers as illustrated, or with
either type “A”, “B” or “D” rollers and equipped with chain links can be assembled to meet our customers’ specific
requirements. It is also possible to equip the base chain with a special chain links and carriers.
However, chains to DIN 8165 should not be used for new installations since this standard is out of date. For these
systems, we recommend internationally standardised (ISO) chains to DIN 8167, 8168 and 8169 as shown on p.
44/45 and 55.

Rated power „P“ is multiplied by correction factor „k1“ from the table and the resulting performance „Pk“ is
inserted into the performance chart on page 63. Combine these values with the rpm speed „n“ of the small pinion
to select the respective chain.
The chart shows the performance curves of the chains, based on: 19 teeth; transmission ratio 3: 1; impact-free
and uniform loading, chain length of at least 100 x pitch, service life of 15000 hrs and proper lubrication (p. 92).
Under borderline conditions, the next smaller size of chain may be used if a slight reduction in the service life of
the chain is acceptable. It is always advisable, however, to recalculate the joint surface pressure of the chain. The
chart on p. 95. shows permissible values for the joint surface pressure. Under special conditions it is advisable
that you to use our engineering services. When you have supplied all the necessary information, our engineering
services will work out an optimised chain drive for you.

HIGH PERFORMANCE CHAIN COUPLINGS
Chain couplings:
To determine the power transmission capacity of chain couplings,
select the appropriate factor “k2” from the chart on this page. The major
advantage offered by chain couplings is flexible power transmission in
combination with quick release properties and the general availability of
spare parts. Chain couplings without casing are intended for secondary
and light duty transmission purposes. Chain couplings that are provided
with a casing, cater for higher speeds and loads.
The casing protects the coupling and retains the lubricant. The chain
coupling consists of two one-sided chain wheels, that are coupled
to each other by a duplex roller chain to DIN 8187. The chain wheels are
made from steel and have 20 induction-hardened teeth. Even though the
chain couplings will tolerate slight misalignment, the shafts should be
aligned as accurately as possible to optimise service life.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT STEEL LINK CHAINS
The lubricants such as oil or grease should always be applied between the inner and outer plates on the side
facing the chainwheel. Periodic cleaning of the chain and removing any abrasive matter, other contaminants,
and gumming increase the service life. In addition to the lubricants mentioned above, dry lubricants are also
used for special applications. These are usually reeled, sprayed or painted on before assembly.
4. Chain wheels
Correct chainwheel design and toothing are critical factors for the service life of a chain. Generally, chain wheels
having 19 teeth or more are employed. Tension sprockets and chain wheels with secondary functions may have
13 or more teeth. Where impact shocks are possible at high speeds, it is advisable to heat treat the teeth to
prevent increased wear and tear. The contact angle on chain wheels should not be less than 120o and the gear
ratio should not exceed 1:8. The number of teeth of the chain wheels should be matched with the number of links
of the chain so that the same roll does not contact the same gullet after several revolutions. Wheels with 6 teeth
may be used in extreme cases on chains used at relatively low velocities and having a large chain pitch.

JOINT SURFACE PRESSURE CHART
for steel link chains
A chain selected in accordance with the true tensile force “F” should always be checked for permissible bearing
pressure. You can use the following formula to calculate the joint surface pressure.
The Values of permissible joint surface pressure “Pperm.” shown in the chart apply to normal operating conditions
only: free from dirt, well-lubricated, impact-free, minimum safety factor of 6.
