Gentleman,
How much difference is there between manufacturers of size 50 chain? We have ongoing issues with broken #50 drive chain on a conveyor system and I can't seem to determine a mechanical bind anywhere. So I would like to try a better brand of drive chain to rule out a cheap chain as the culprit.
Are there any recommendations of preferred chain manufacturers? How about brands I should avoid?
Thanks in advance...
We've had good luck with Timken roller chain. Although I'm sure there are other out there that can compete.
I am not sure of your applicaion with this convayor "Is 50 big enuogh" maby go to a 60. Also speed and Load play a large factor in a convayor drive train. Possibly change to a differanty gear ratio. hope this helps
Thanks... up and running again but upsizing the chain may be a better answer. It shouldn't be a big deal.
