If you’ve noticed increased wear or unexpected downtime in your machinery, it might be time to reevaluate your sprocket selection. Hardened tooth sprockets are recommended for any sprockets of 25 teeth or less and/or heavily loaded drives, abrasive conditions, high-speed applications or any situation where longevity is crucial.

A major food and beverage operation’s annual maintenance costs were ballooning due to an under-performing chain in their hot oven conveyor, which needed to be replaced every six months. Drives’ engineers stepped in, designing a custom chain solution featuring enhanced hardness and wear resistance to withstand blazing temperatures. Outcome: Chain life extended to 16 months, leading to over $60,000 in annual savings.

Not sure if it’s time to replace your roller chain? You can measure wear on your roller chain by measuring the tight span of the drive when the drive is OFF – from the center of one pin to the center of another. The more pitches (pins) contained in this measurement, the more accurate your results. If the measured value exceeds the nominal by more than 3% in most industrial applications, it’s time for a replacement. For drives with fixed center distances, chains running in parallel, double pitch roller chains or where smooth operation is required, limit wear to approximately 1.5% Read more FAQs here: https://lnkd.in/gwveew7z #FAQFriday #DiamondDrivesbyTimken #DiamondChain #TheDiamondDifference #DrivesChain #StrongerTogether #BeyondBearings #TeamTimken

By combining the strength of carbon steel with the enhanced corrosion resistance of nickel plating, we've engineered a chain that ensures optimal functionality where traditional chains fall short. Diamond® Nickel-Plated Standard Series thrives in high humidity and washdown conditions, delivering superior wear and fatigue performance across a wide spectrum of standard applications, from packaging lines to food processing facilities.

Chain elongation refers to the gradual increase in the overall length of a roller chain due to wear between the pin and bushing. This can lead to poor performance, catastrophic chain failure or other components in the machinery, resulting in increased wear on sprockets and other components. Regularly checking for elongation using tools like the EZ Chain Wear Gauge® can help maintain optimal chain performance and prevent costly downtime.

An ice cream manufacturer faced challenges with excessive wear and chain failure in their spiral freezer drive. Drives experts recommended switching to Drives® C2060H Chain with 600 AS Series round parts and Extended Life CHP® pins. The result? The ice cream manufacturer is projected to save $36,500 annually – a total of $109,400 over the life of the chain!

Produced to ASME/ANSI B29.4 standards, Diamond® Double-Pitch Conveyor chains are used in conveyor applications. Precision ground pins, seamless rollers, solid bushings and link plates are designed for smooth operations whether the chain is supported by the rollers or sliding on the link plates. The tolerancing applied to the individual components provides for tight length and matching tolerancing.
