Forklift Mast Chain

Mast Chains - Utilized in different functions, leaf chains are regulated by ANSI. They can be utilized for forklift masts, as balancers between heads and counterweight in several machine devices, and for low-speed pulling and tension linkage. Leaf chains are sometimes likewise referred to as Balance Chains.

Features and Construction

Leaf chains are steel chains with a simple link plate and pin construction. The chain number refers to the lacing of the links and the pitch. The chains have certain features like for instance high tensile strength per section area, that enables the design of smaller machines. There are B- and A+ type chains in this particular series and both the AL6 and BL6 Series have the same pitch as RS60. Lastly, these chains cannot be powered with sprockets.

Selection and Handling

In roller chains, the link plates have a higher fatigue resistance due to the compressive stress of press fits, yet the leaf chain just contains two outer press fit plates. On the leaf chain, the most permissible tension is low and the tensile strength is high. Whenever handling leaf chains it is essential to consult the manufacturer's catalogue in order to ensure the safety factor is outlined and utilize safety guards always. It is a better idea to carry out utmost caution and use extra safety measures in applications where the consequences of chain failure are severe.

Higher tensile strength is a direct correlation to the utilization of a lot more plates. As the use of much more plates does not enhance the maximum allowable tension directly, the number of plates could be limited. The chains need frequent lubrication for the reason that the pins link directly on the plates, producing a very high bearing pressure. Using a SAE 30 or 40 machine oil is often suggested for the majority of applications. If the chain is cycled more than 1000 times day after day or if the chain speed is over 30m for each minute, it will wear extremely rapidly, even with constant lubrication. Hence, in either of these conditions utilizing RS Roller Chains will be a lot more suitable.

The AL-type of chains should just be utilized under certain situations like for example if wear is really not a huge concern, if there are no shock loads, the number of cycles does not exceed one hundred daily. The BL-type will be better suited under different conditions.

The stress load in parts would become higher if a chain utilizing a lower safety factor is selected. If the chain is even utilized amongst corrosive conditions, it could easily fatigue and break very fast. Performing frequent maintenance is really vital when operating under these types of conditions.

The outer link or inner link type of end link on the chain will determine the shape of the clevis. Clevis connectors or otherwise known as Clevis pins are constructed by manufacturers, but the user typically provides the clevis. A wrongly made clevis can lessen the working life of the chain. The strands should be finished to length by the maker. Check the ANSI standard or phone the maker.
