designed for use as an aid in analyzing chain failures.
Chain Analysis
WHY FAILURE OCCURS?
There are many different reasons a chain can fail
in a piece of equipment. Some reasons may be
related to the chain itself, but many reasons may
be related to other components of the system.
A failure of (1) interacting component such as a
sprocket, attachment, or a variety of others can
cause severe damage to the chain. Such chain
damage becomes a symptom of another problem
and should not be considered a problem of itself.
This Chain Analysis manual section is designed
to help analyze failures so that the real problems
may be corrected on a timely basis.
The next 3 pages show examples of
typical chain failures and what must
be done to correct each failure.
