Chain Maintenance
Inspect and lubricate chains regularly. The slack of new
chains tends to increase during the first few hours of
operation due to seating.
Chain Slack
Check slack at fixed idlers within the first 8 hours of
operation and tighten idlers as necessary. Check slack at
spring-operated idlers seasonally.
Refer to Figure 102, which, for clarity, greatly
exaggerates slack, and omits the idlers.
1.
Measure the span
for allowable slack:
Locate the longest span of each chain (usually the
span which does not run through the idlers).
2.
Determine the ideal slack:
Long chains (over 91 cm / 36 inches):
2.1 cm per meter (
1
4
inch per foot)
Vertical short chains:
2.1 cm per meter (
1
4
inch per foot)
Horizontal short chains:
4.2 cm/m (
1
2
inch per foot).
3.
Measure the current slack
:
Acting at a right angle to the chain span at the center
of the span, deflect the chain in both directions. The
slack is the distance of the movement.
4.
Adjust the idlers for ideal slack.
Chain Clips
Whenever mounting a chain, make sure the clip at the
removable link is oriented to minimize snags.
Refer to Figure 103 (arrow shows chain direction)
Install clip with open end facing away from direction of
chain travel (shown by gray or striped arrows in chain
routing diagrams).
