Mast Chains

Forklift Mast Chains - Utilized in different applications, leaf chains are regulated by ANSI. They could be utilized for lift truck masts, as balancers between counterweight and heads in several machine gadgets, and for tension linkage and low-speed pulling. Leaf chains are occasionally also called Balance Chains.

Features and Construction

Constructed of a simple link plate and pin construction, steel leaf chains is identified by a number that refers to the lacing of the links and the pitch. The chains have specific features like for example high tensile strength for each section area, which allows the design of smaller machines. There are B- and A+ kind chains in this particular series and both the AL6 and BL6 Series comprise the same pitch as RS60. Lastly, these chains cannot be powered utilizing sprockets.

Selection and Handling

Comparably, in roller chains, all of the link plates maintain higher fatigue resistance because of the compressive stress of press fits, whereas in leaf chains, only two outer plates are press fit. The tensile strength of leaf chains is high and the maximum acceptable tension is low. While handling leaf chains it is important to check with the manufacturer's instruction manual so as to ensure the safety factor is outlined and use safety guards always. It is a good idea to exercise extreme care and use extra safety measures in functions wherein the consequences of chain failure are serious.

Higher tensile strength is a direct correlation to the utilization of a lot more plates. In view of the fact that the use of much more plates does not enhance the most permissible tension directly, the number of plates can be limited. The chains require frequent lubrication because the pins link directly on the plates, producing a very high bearing pressure. Using a SAE 30 or 40 machine oil is normally suggested for the majority of applications. If the chain is cycled over 1000 times day after day or if the chain speed is over 30m for every minute, it will wear really rapidly, even with continual lubrication. So, in either of these situations using RS Roller Chains would be a lot more suitable.

The AL-type of chains should only be utilized under certain situations like for instance if wear is not a huge concern, when there are no shock loads, the number of cycles does not go beyond a hundred each day. The BL-type would be better suited under other conditions.

If a chain using a lower safety factor is chosen then the stress load in parts will become higher. If chains are utilized with corrosive elements, then they may become fatigued and break somewhat easily. Doing frequent maintenance is vital when operating under these kinds of conditions.

The type of end link of the chain, whether it is an inner link or outer link, determines the shape of the clevis. Clevis connectors or also called Clevis pins are made by manufacturers but usually, the user provides the clevis. A wrongly constructed clevis can decrease the working life of the chain. The strands should be finished to length by the producer. Refer to the ANSI standard or call the maker.
