The different types of conveyor chain

Basic chains

SEDIS chains comply with the ISO 1977 standard. This range is based on the minimum tensile strength, pitch, type of pin and roller and the specific features of the plates. These different characteristics enter into their designation.

– The minimum tensile strength goes from 20 to 900 kN, according to a series based on the preferred numbers
– These chains’ pins are usually solid, but they may also be hollow when they are intended for fastening accessories or spacers linking two chains working in  parallel.
– The pitch must be chosen according to the utilization conditions, the type of product to be carried, the frequency of the accessories, the available space, etc. All the pitch values are also established according to preferred numbers, but not all of them can be made: refer to the table in Chapter 2 giving the preferred pitches. Pitches with intermediate values or pitches in inches can also be proposed.
