Checking for chain wear 

(Check the cause of the malfunction before installing the new chain)

 

 
Lifting chain 

Manufacturer: REGINA – Model: AL522 
 

 

 

A1 = 19.1 mm ; Dp = 5.09 mm ; P = 15.875 mm ; S = 2.04 mm ; Hi = 12.83 mm 

 

 
 
 
 
Elongation: 

Measurement of chain slightly tightened on straight sections 1/5 to 1/15 of the total length. Maximum 
elongation allowed: 2% along the most worn section. 

 
Wear of plate profiles: 

Where the phenomenon is most noticeable: maximum permitted height reduction of 2.5% on one 
side only, 4% if on two sides, in relation to the initial height. 

 
Wear on the side of the chain: 

Replace the chain if the protruding part of the pin heads is worn down by more than 25% or if the 
outer side is worn down by more than 20% of its thickness.
