6) Pins coming out of their housings
A direct consequence of the stiff joints of turned pins.
7) Wear
It is important to assess whether the connection plates are very worn.
8) Broken plates
This is the result of fatigue failure caused by overloading. Corrosion
phenomena may contribute to this problem.
9) Broken pins
This problem usually occurs as a result of corrosion in the chain joints.
Since the pins of a single chain are subject to the same load and
corrosion conditions, one failure is usually followed by more.
Experience has shown that this type of failure is not always easily
recognised as there are no evident changes in the chain conditions,
especially in the initial stage.
Checking for chain wear
(Check the cause of the malfunction before installing the new chain)
Lifting chain
