Selection Principles for Scraper chain

Selection Principles for Scraper chain

Select the type of chain 

Chain should be carried out a reasonable selection according to the maximum working load as well as meet the requirements of material properties. 

1. It’s better not to select roller chain if conveying powder materials. In general, it’s better to adopt forging chains. 

2. Please try to reduce its weight on condition of meeting the chain strength’s needs. 

3. Different forms of arrangement have different chain selection. Usually, with regard to MS type, MC type and MG type, users have free to select any type of chain. 

Chain pitch selection 

Chain pitch should be chosen to minimize the maximum power load of chain withstand and shake amplitude as principle, because if chain jitter is too large, it will damage normal delivery state. If the chain with larger withstand dynamic loads will increase the weight of chain or reduce its service life. 

Blade pitch selection 

Blade spacing can be determined based on groove width, but it must adapt to the chain pitch. Generally, blade spacing is equal to chain pitch. If blade pitch is too large, it will increase energy consumption; if blade pitch is too small, it will increase the weight of traction and energy consumption.
