Rigid joints
If any joint is not in a straight position when it leaves the return pulley, it can no longer
be used. This phenomenon can be caused by corrosion or cold micro welding.
Turned pins
This is the consequence of incorrect lubrication and the aforementioned phenomenon
of stiffened joints. This phenomenon is easily recognised by the difference in the
positions of the pin strokes compared to their factory setting.
Pins coming out of their places
A direct consequence of the rigid joints of turned pins.
Wear
It is important to examine whether the connection plates are severely worn.
Broken plates
This is the result of stress caused by overloading. Corrosion can contribute to leading
to this problem.
Broken pins
This problem usually develops as a result of corrosion on the chain joints. Since the
pins of a single chain are subject to the same load and corrosion conditions, one
break is usually followed by other. Experience has shown that this type of break is
not always easily recognised in that there are no evident changes in the state of the
chains, in particular during the initial phase.
Checking wear of the chain
(Check the cause of the malfunction before installing the new chain)
