The most common type of attachment chain is the standard roller chain which is used in a wide variety of mechanical drive applications including industrial, agricultural, and automotive. These chains have been heating treated, shot peened, and pre-stretched to ensure optimum strength and durability for long life.
These chains are also dimensionally compatible with standard sprockets to provide a quick, simple, and cost-effective replacement. However, they do not perform as well when subjected to high stresses and shock loads unless they are coupled with specific attachments.
There are many types of attachments available to add to standard roller chains for various functions, including securing brackets and guides and moving materials directly. These are standardized with an alphanumeric designation to allow easy identification for sizing and configuration.
Typically, the attachment will have integrated protrusions at the connection point where fixtures can be attached for movement with the chain. It will then be secured to the chain by cotters or a spring clip, depending on the application.
The attachments will have a center distance that is twice the length of the chain. This center distance makes it very easy to add and remove fixtures while the chain is being used.
When adding attachments to a chain it is vital to align the parallel shaft and sprocket axial alignments to ensure the chain's performance remains optimum throughout its service life. Misalignment will cause uneven wear to the chain, roller link plates, and sprockets.
This can be achieved by using a level, straight edge, or laser alignment tool. Alternatively, the use of a chain vise will provide a safer method of aligning the chain for the user.
Several types of attachments are available to suit different needs, MCC can supply both plates and pin attachment chains for all conceivable applications.
M chain attachments are fitted to the outer and inner plates of the chain which are vertical and have one or two holes allowing for a range of components to be attached precisely. The attachment is often accompanied by a connecting link that has groove spring clips to secure large rollers or other components that may be used on the chain.
These can be fitted on both or single pitches of the chain and are commonly provided with duplex or triplex pins which have insertions for locking springs, Seeger rings or E-rings, and/or holes for splints. They can be provided with different pin diameters and special forms (grooves etc) to meet a range of applications and require minimal maintenance during operation.
The sprockets will be selected to match the chain pitch and roller diameter. These chains can be used with either standard or oversized rollers and are designed to operate at relatively medium conveying speeds.
The sprockets will be made from either brass or stainless steel. They will have a wide bore to fit the chain and will be supplied in an alloyed sprocket shell. This will help prevent corrosion and improve the chains operating life.
