chains, operate
under true chain principles irrespective of load,
speed or conveyor length. A catenary is all that is
required for proper chain-sprocket interaction.
The catenary is a given length of chain which is left
unsupported in the return side of the conveyor. The
weight of this unsupported chains produces the
tension necessary to keep the chain wrapped on the
sprocket. Additionally, the catenary provides a place
for excess chain from elongation to accumulate.
The catenary should be directly after the drive or as
close as possible.
Rexnord never recommends chain take-up devices
except for the following cases:
adjustment of catenary sag to maintain proper
tension
unconventional conveyors where a catenary is
not practical (i.e. conveyors that are vertical or
tilted to the side, 90° from horizontal).
adjustment of shaft perpendicularity to maintain
proper chain tracking.
When a take-up or tensioning device is required to
keep a chain under constant tension Rexnord
recommends that a spring loaded or similar
tensioner be used.
Premature failure may result from an over
tensioned chain.
NOTE: The following equations relate
tension, excess chain, catenary sag and
catenary length.
